The journey from there to here
Published on January 29, 2006 By Gideon MacLeish In Current Events

As many of you know, I am currently studying to become a paralegal. I am in the early stages, but am progressing through it at a reasonable pace. On my two entrance exams, I scored an average of 98 (96 on 1, 100 on the other), and today I took the tests on my first two courses.

The first test resulted in a 95, due to a stupidity error on my part. The second test, however, netted me a perfect 100.

So here I sit, two courses down and a 97.5% average on those courses. That'll probably go down over time, but it's nice to have the higher scores to start out with as a possible cushion against lower scores as the coursework becomes more challenging.

I got a paralegal at home!  And she is sharper than a razor!  So I hope others can avail themselves of your brilliance!

Mine is cheaper and prettier!

Well, I'm having my wife study everything I'm learning...when I'm finished with my studies and ready to do advocacy work, our clients will actually be getting a paralegal TEAM (if it weren't so much money, my wife would also be paying for the degree, but she can do just as much work without it). And the advocacy work is something we intend to do pro bono (my goal is to make a living writing and filing legal documents in other matters), so it can't get much cheaper'n that...lol!
