A fresh start

It's time I update my blog on what I have been doing. I recently got hired at a small law firm in my state. It has been a challenging one month as I organize around the law firm.

At first glance, I was a bit timid, for the new job brought challenges, but I quickly got excited at the fact that I would be organizing things my way. I won't lie, I have made a few trial and error mistakes but nothing major or life threatening. And when in doubt, I ask. I am not afraid to ask but I am afraid of asking too many questions.

Litigation excites me. I love analyzing issues and facts and putting legal theories together. Sometimes I wonder if I should go to law school, but I come back to reality rather quickly. The reality that law school offers very little to someone that is knowledgeable and knows how to spot issues and analyze like a lawyer. The cost of law school is much to high for the benefit law school provides.

In my opinion, the benefits just doesn't outweigh the cost of acquiring a law degree. And I would be wasting money I can invest elsewhere like buying a house, a new car, modernizing my kitchen, etc. The only reason to go to law school is to buy a ticket to take the bar.

Nevertheless, I enjoy being a paralegal even if I don't get to strategize and plan arguments. I also enjoy the fact that I am able to offer more than just paralegal help. I am the Spanish guru, the computer wiz kid, the excellent organizer, and the reliable staff member. I work hard and try my best to finish tasks and add value to my employer.

All in all, I am the perfect paralegal for this position. And with God's help, I will prevail and be the superstar.
