Becoming a Lawyer
I grew up in a small town and as an extremely shy kid. I let my shyness chart my path for a while, dropping college courses that required public speaking. When I had to speak in public, I battled nerves to the point of nausea, tears, and nightmares.
But then I got the wild idea to become a lawyer. Not just any lawyer, but a trial lawyer who would have to stand up in court and argue before judges and juries. A world full of stress, adrenaline, and heavy drinking.
