[@katiebrown2320]

This is a really inspiring and comforting video - I feel like there is so much pressure to get involved in the legal sector as quickly as possible because of how competitive it is but Ibz reminds us (and me - a fellow GDL student!) that it is perfectly okay to take time cultivating your dream career and not everything has to be achieved straight away. So excited to see your journey through Oxford and beyond!

Love that I understand how to become a solicitor because I’ve been binge watching eve cornwell videos 😌

[@TheFlowerGirl77]

Ibrahim it is an honour and a pleasure to be allowed the privilege to have just a small window by which we are able to watch you learn, grow and transform into the beautiful young man you have always been and are still becoming. As someone who has lived through many seasons (have to bring your spice), I honestly adore you and cherish watching you develop through your own seasons too. Whether it was the boy struggling to find his feet through difficult childhood trauma or the newly minted young man transversing the world of higher education amongst a foreign territory of cultural, social and economic differences or the young man experiencing the first pangs of an adult relationship and now the man emerging from all those life lessons to find his true voice and calling, I have nothing but genuine love and respect for you and find you amongst the finest of people I have ever known, hold you up as a positive role model for our youth and love, love, love seeing that smile return after every battle is fought. You are in your every right to take time to explore who and what you wish to become next and to do it in the way that suits YOU best. The fact is, in your heart of hearts , like I too knew when I was your age, the career or job(s) you take on will never define you (and what a wonderful thing that is) because the quality of your relationships and what you leave behind as a result of them will always mean more - be it friend, partner, husband, brother, worker or father. You have gained the insight that many don’t gain until much, much later in their lives and that means you haven’t become more subdued, you’ve become more mature and wiser. Of course you still have a lot more growth ahead, we all do no matter what are physical age, but your reflecting in who you truly wish to be has opened wide the endless possibilities to come, this time with a road map of where you are, where you would like to get to and where you no longer wish to go. I know you will just continue to grow and grow and thrive - perhaps as a solicitor, perhaps as a professor, perhaps as a teacher, perhaps as a member of Parliament or who know but ALWAYS as a good man who is not only worthy of love but filled with love to give as well. In case I haven’t said it enough - I love you and you will ALWAYS be worthy of true love from someone who respects and honours you as you are - Ibz, my main man! My gentle soul. My man who will, one day, be a shining beacon of what love IS meant to look like for others as well. Fatherhood and real love will suit you well because it is coming from you of your own free will and is not something you just think you “have” to do. Enough from me now. I’m starting to cry. I genuinely, genuinely love you and I mean that in the most plutonic and friendliest of ways only.

[@indyisthebestcat]

All I want is to give ibz a hug 🥺🥺

[@heckinstellar]

your growth has been absolutely stellar to watch over these years!! super proud of you ibz 💛

[@summersunshine2215]

The relationship bit of this video is so true, they should defo teach healthy relationships in schools. Always love your vids ibz :)

[@user-gc2xd5ym7j]

Ibz is literally a living hero, I don’t know how many times I rewatched his videos during A levels when I felt hopeless, that was years ago! I don’t think I would’ve made it to A2 without you, got too much love for you Ibz ♥️

[@rahmahmohamed1598]

Loooving the content and consistency!!!🙌

[@Yk-lo6pl]

Omg I’m so late with this video, apologies. I’ve watched you from the very beginning and returned back to your channel to see how you are - now being in my final year of the Phd. I found your realisations so touching and moving in terms of wanting to be a family man and a competent professional in your field. And could really relate to parts of your family background and the kind of experience of first love that it fostered. I had the same experience. It’s one of the most painful things to go through but it necessarily points to the wounds that need healing - so that we can offer ourselves the compassion we and/or the people in our lives may have withheld from us. Apart from this, I have nothing more to say other than it’s so amazing to see how much you’ve grown as a person (since I last watched you when you were at cam) - how poised, self aware and purposeful you are. You are so loved by so many of us, and not just because of your incredible achievements but because of what a genuine, caring, compassionate and simply good person that you are. But most importantly it seems like you’ve steeped into self-love and the beautiful practice of it. Sending you all the warmest wishes and look forward to being a witness to the continued blossoming of your incredible spirit Xx

I'm going into the 2nd year of my LLB. This summer after lockdown was lifted I started interning at a law firm and they have already implied that they want to take me on and train me to become a lawyer once I graduate. As grateful as I am (alhamdulilah), I'm constantly questioning whether a career in the legal field is right for me. It's important to be honest with yourself and keep an open mind.

[@princyphilip3371]

TN- which uni you are doing the LLB

[@persephone8960]

Its heavy workload...long hours..good for career progression..abit shaky for personal. I want to take law too but im worried about the outcome.

[@sk4841]

Ibz's middle name is consistency i swear

[@hemikiwi817]

friendship before love! love will hit you in the face when you least expect it. Focus on your studies and career , everything else will come along. Your parents may not have won awards on parenting, but maybe their journey was troubled too, maybe they had no role models, maybe they didn't experience love either. Maybe they had major disruption. In time you will move on emotionally. I say all this from a good place,and from personal experience.

[@easterlee2143]

This is a really good advice, thanks for sharing!

[@MiSsShAny1000]

Before you start your LPC just know it will be changing in the next year or two, and you can do the SQE instead which will be cheaper than an LPC. Check the SRA website for more info.

[@xCiaraLouisexx]

Wow the parents influence on relationships is so true - my mum and all her cousins are single mums now and my grandparents have never been the most loving people! I’ve dated a couple of people during my uni years, one was more serious (never had boyfriend/girlfriend title) than the other so when that ended it felt like a break up but as you said you learn and grow ✨

[@aidandahlan]

Thank you for talking about your breakup experience and the connection to the absence of parental love. Wish you the best for your masters soon Ibz.

[@sonerargalioglu9744]

After watching your most recent videos of getting into oxford to do a masters and also learning that you are aiming to become a solicitor and these ads would help fund your studies, I have to watch them all. I am also aiming to become a solicitor later on in my life (I'm only in year 13 :3). Keep doing what you're doing and In Shaa Allah you will get the training contract fit for you!

[@martonio5386]

Hey Ibz! I know you’re super smart and of course research is your forté! I just wanted to make sure you’re aware of the new Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) being introduced in autumn 2021. I’m unsure if because you already completed your GDL if you’ll have to do the SQE or continue along the regular path of LPC and Training Contract. Just wanna make sure there are no surprises down the road after your Masters! ❤️☺️👍🏻

wishing you health and happiness during your masters and whatever comes next ibz !! thank you for sharing about your family & relationships too, its really reassuring to hear from someone else who has gone through similar things :+) All the best !

[@lisaalapisa4235]

Why the solicitor route instead of the barrister route? Surely, you could make a greater impact as a barrister. Edit: Okay, i think you've answered this question where you said that training contracts are hard to secure. With the barrister route, pupillage is even harder to secure, and the BPTC is more difficult than the LPC. So it makes sense to just make life slightly easier.

Also I'm so glad u explained the whole process 🙏🏽❤❤❤ (btw I love that on starting my last yr and dont know it loool )

[@richardstone5096]

My first love also taught me a lot about myself and like you said, set a bar to know what love is. Even though it's crap how it ended (cheating) and hurt a ton, I'm very grateful to have gone through it and I know one day I will meet someone who won't do something like that to me. One day... haha. I'm going to spend year 13 a lot more on me and a few close friends and I am applying to Cambridge for Maths, so I am going to work my hardest to get in. I really enjoy these frequent uploads Ibz. PS, I think you can tell I am applying for maths because of how disjointed my writing is... definitely not an essay person haha

[@TheDentistryDiary]

So glad you back to uploading more like the old days 😬✌🏼💯

[@LawandBroader]

Great video Ibz and very sound reasoning! Just in case you weren’t aware, the system is changing next year so there will be no requirement to do the LPC or secure a TC to qualify. You can choose the new SQE route if you want to! No pressure though, you can still stick with the current route for the next 11 years if it suits you better... whole SQE playlist on my channel if you want to know more. Keep up the great content!

this vid is tort-ally interesting (ok sorry) side q, is it weird if i apply to camb but I'm not 100% sure how i feel about it? I'm leaning more towards my local uni (brum) but I don't want people to think I'm crazy for applying to camb and not being willing to accept it if they give an offer

[@IbzMo]

APPLY APPLY APPLY!!!! You never know

[@MinnUTube]

Hey :) I applied to Cambridge and received and offer but ended up at a local uni. I definitely say apply, either way you have 5 uni options 🤷‍♀️

[@ThePokeHimOn]

@@MinnUTube Thanks :D I still want to give Cambridge a go, because then I won't complain or regret that I didn't take the opportunity and I might change my mind about it if I get an offer, since we have until May to reply (that's *if* I get an offer lmao anyway). But i'm tryna think about personal comfort and wellbeing and all of that and i'm leaning towards my local uni because of that. Of course cambridge is academically prestigious but uob is also very good! that's why comparing the two makes uob sound like some trash uni when its really not lol. i basically hate being indecisive and a people pleaser because teachers nudged me towards applyin for cambridge :(

[@MinnUTube]

@@ThePokeHimOn Yep I'd definitely say go for it, it's a unique experience and if you have other interviews, it'll certainly prepare you for those too. And uob is a great uni, I also received an offer from there, but chose to go local because of wellbeing :)
