Bar exam results. Tens of thousands across the country face them time and time again. Hope and despair, rinse and repeat.
You endure the onslaught of “aww… you got this” and “I’m sure you passed!” for weeks and months. Like can we just agonize in PEACE?
Waiting is the hardest part. Anxiety, excitement, and uncertainty squirt into your heart every time they think of the moment of truth. Uncertainty is being locked in a padded room alone with your hopes and worries.
Then… the ruthless truth. This is the result of all your work, condensed into one phrase: “You were not successful on the exam.” Someone out there deemed that your efforts weren’t enough.
How do you face your family and friends? How do you face yourself?
You want to “trust the process.” But does something need to be changed?
