I wasn’t too excited to spend my whole winter break here in Washington. I knew I was going to be missing out on a lot of stuff like hanging out with my close friends and attending special and important events. Yet, being a firm believer in that things happen for a reason, maybe my stay here was meant to happen… for a reason.
Orange County/LA, a fast pace city where it is rare for neighbors to befriend each other; whereas Kennewick, a small town where EVERYONE knows EVERYTHING about everyone; coming from a place also known as the Sunny Southern California with the perfect weather as to this town that never stops snowing during winter time, it was clear to me that things were different. Every family party and social gathering I attended here was elegant and at times formal. It was a definite change in lifestyle. I have 6 doctors in the family (my sister becoming the 7th soon) and they all reside here. I see how they live their successful yet simple lives and each and every one of them advise me on how to reach my future goal in becoming an attorney. Through them, I met an attorney who told me about his law school experience which ultimately encouraged me for a greater level. My time here is nothing but motivational. I would love to live a successful life like them and also carry the prestige they carry. I know it’s going to take a lot of sacrifice and discipline to get there – although I believe it’ll all be worth it in the long run.
So maybe my “unfortunate” stay here was for the good!
