When I was 38, on November 17, 2006, at 18:25 PST, I learned that I PASSED THE CALIFORNIA BAR EXAM (and on the first try too!).
Good job and CONGRATULATIONS! That is huge.

Thank you everyone.
I plan to finish out teaching the school year-partly because I have several JW students that I am teaching how to think (WTBTS logic is no match for high geometry logic, I hope).
I spent most of law school clerking for the our public defender-you know, fighting for the rights of the oppressed and the accused. As my boss there told me on my last day on Thursday, "You have made a genuine difference in the lives of a lot of people, not just the clients you helped, but also their families who need them." (A hell of a lot more useful than waking someone up on a Saturday morning to hand them a 5th grade reading level tract.)
But, the area I want to practice is family law. I've had some job offers, but nothing that has set me on fire. I'm looking for a spot that will allow me the opportunity to do child advocacy, and yes, I am hoping to do some pro bono work for ex JWs with a good cause(child endangerment, abuse, parental alienation, and blood issues).
I may develop my repetoire to be an "expert" witness on JWs. I have seen so much.
This law school -becoming an attorney endeavor is the most satisfying thing I have ever accomplished. I chose it, it fit, and gosh durn it-I turned out to be pretty good at it. And besides, in my teaching career I have taught more than a thousand kids how to use the quadratic formula and how to do trigonmetry. I figure I can convince a judge or jury 'bout nearly anything.
I tell my stories for all the late teens and early twenties. A few short years of sacrifice can yield great accomplishment and rewards.
And as for the next few months? I hope to be able to take it a little easy until spring. I have been going full throttle, on all my cylinders now for four years. I really just need a tune up and a nap.
I'm going to bed now.
