Why Law? (Part 1)

I honestly have no clue...

Sometimes in life, we tend to just match with someone or something. We match with people, we enjoy being around and those we can vibe with. We click with things that make us happy and give us a purpose.

Maybe that's what Law does for me. It makes me happy and gives me a purpose, a goal, something to work for, something to aim for.

But we are skipping a few chapters here, lets start with the beginning.

Hi!

I am Riya Gupta, a 16-year-old teenager pursuing a well-versed (thinks it the best), the ultimate goal.

If you would have told me a year ago, that I would actually end up with a dream and goal in life, I would have laughed, maybe even spluttered at the humor in the comment. "Goalless albeit happy" was my mantra for life. And I still stand by that statement. Goals aren't everything in life, but life is one way or the other is nothing without them. You can be happy without them, but never truly fulfilled or complete.

However, an essential part of goals is giving them enough time. Time is a required measure in formulating or building any dream or aim.

People today are looking for goals and ambitions to complete and achieve, but no one is ready to give any time to these goals to form properly. Give said goals and time, and slowly they will formulate right before your eyes.

How can I talk about any of this you ask?

Well I have been through this same experience over the past few years, and hence want to share my take on the topic

A little backstory: I come from a classic Indian Middle Class family, filled to the brim with doctors, engineers and high expectations. My mother always wanted to pursue medicine, and my dad has already achieved great heights in the engineering field. Raising myself to their expectations and forcing myself to a subject or matter that seemed alien to me was a tedious task for me. So, I took it to heart to stay at the level I was a at, and grow...maybe not on the same path they took but grow anyways.

Till 8th grade, life seemed perfect, good grades were rolling in, friends complied, tons of fun times were spent. However soon after a memorable, cherish able year, the darkness spread.

I might be overexaggerating here...but it did seem like it.

All of my once "I dont know what I am doing in life friends" suddenly had a lot of aims and dreams. Everyone wanted to do something...and me? Well I wanted to do everything. One day my hopes were pinned on becoming a doctor, but the other while listening to the radio, I would want to be a Journalist...my options were all open and out there. And through out all of this, my parents were by my side telling me to take things slow, and that, my options will open up itself. Of course, being the teenager I was, I payed no heed to their advice and continued to stress myself out on the amount of options I had to chose from. Fast Forward 2 years, 10th Grade.

*The pressure was on*

And if you are thinking anything different, let me lower you expectations, I was still at square one, with many, but no fixed career option in life.

However, (might be overexaggerating this again), a show was introduced in my life and it changed the course I was taking completely...

AND thats it for today, this is a new blog which is focusing on my career option as Law. We will be discussing cases, experiences, ups and downs. I welcome you whole

heartedly on this journey

Thank you for all of your support

Let your dreams be your wings
