OMG…I passed the IL Bar Exam!!! I passed the exam the first time with just 3 weeks to completely devote to studying. I am finally a lawyer!!!
The bar exam results were posted this morning on the website. I forgot the paper at home with my exam number on it so my mom went over to my place to get it for me. I told her that the number that I remember was on the website but I just want to match the numbers to be sure. I told her that I could wait until I got home but well…she couldn’t. (LOL) She and my dad went over to my place and got the paper right where I told them it would be and she called me with the number. I immediately looked on the website and saw my exam number right there. I PASSED!!!
My mom was so excited. As the website was coming up, she kept repeating my exam number over and over. I was smiling and half laughing at her nervousness. I told her my number was there and that I passed and she just screamed with happiness. My dad got on the phone and he just started crying he was so happy and proud of me. It feels good to make them proud. He said, “You’re the best. Someone has to be a princess.” Can you tell I am Daddy’s little girl?
It’s been such an amazing year for my family. My mother retired after teaching for 37 years, I graduated from law school, my sister got married, I passed the bar, and my grandmother is still healthy and happy at age 84. I just feel enormously blessed and charged for the future!
