How I survived U.P. Law while working full time

How did I survive U.P. Law while working full-time?
Para sa mga aspiring lawyers and law students, I will share with you some tips on how to survive and conquer law school and eventually become a lawyer.

[@keziahgayleagura6517]

Thank you po for inspiring us, Atty! I'm currently in my 2nd year in law school at the same time a CPA working full time. Sobrang hirap po :'( A lot of times nag aabsent ako sa school kasi uuwi na ako sa work ng madaling araw kasi usual na ang overtime, deadlines and reports. I wanted to quit my work para maka focus sa law school, kaso lang my work is my only financial support for law school. I didn't do well sa law school like I have been sa undergrad. It really pains me kasi pagod na ako from work tas mag aral pa sa gabi. Minsan my classmates caught me na nakatulog na sa class sa sobrang pagod, parang hindi na natakot yung pagod ko matawag sa recit ba :'( Pero my heart really wants me to be a lawyer in the near future. Up until now I'm looking for inspirational videos sa youtube and I found yours. Hopefully God will sustain me through the end. Thank you for sharing your tips po 😊

[@AttyDannyGalang]

Just stick to your goal to become a lawyer. I can relate since accountant din ako and I know how difficult it can be. Pero kaya yan! One sem at a time. Eventually you’ll graduate and become a lawyer too. All the best!
