EXCITING NEWS

I passed the California BAR Exam on my first try. On May 25 at approximately 6:30 p.m. I found out that I passed the BAR!! This was an exciting day for me and a sad one as well. My partner did not pass. He is currently studying for the July exam. I certainly hope that he is able to pass the July Bar. It is not the same working without him. Moreover, it is difficult to be happy for myself when he is so miserable.

Well, moving on. I was sworn in on June 1 at approximately 9:00 a.m. by Judge Brown of the San Bernardino Superior Court. My swearing in was conducted in open court, solely for me. That was nerve wracking and extremely exciting. I was hardly able to repeat the oath.

Seven years of school, 2 straight months of studying, mounting student loans and debt was all worth it. I passed!!! Let's hope I am able to pay some of my debt, beginning this year.

More wonderful news--- I found out that a digest I wrote about two years ago was published in the ULV Law Journal printed in 2006. How great is that? I have a hard bound copy imprinted with my name and nearly 30 paperback copies of my piece. That was good news for me. I truly did not think I was published, but now I am. This is another huge step forward in my life.
