Well, I took a chance and went against the "family" grain and attended the university that I did. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met my husband. Generally speaking, I think my life path would've been different. It definately made a difference.
Also, I am glad that I went to law school, even though I received absolutely no support in my decision. I think half of my family wanted me to be a teacher, and the other half thought I just wasn't capable (even though I had made the Dean's list 6 straight semesters and had a scholarship) Well to make a long story short, I got into each of the law schools I applied to, and managed to keep my academic scholarship for the three years that it took to complete the program. Although I haven't taken the bar yet I am gad that I had the opportunity; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to study law in Africa, and see all the countries that been blessed to see.
I guess it's sad, but true that sometimes it's your family that keeps you from following your dreams.
