Motivation - Personal Essay

Even though I have always wanted to be a lawyer and I even had an opportunity right after high school to go straight to college and began my journey of success. Being young and foolish I just blow my opportunity that I work so hard for all through grammar and high school. I didn’t really have any desire to continue on with my education. (oh boy would that decision will come back to hunt me).
