Yes, I Am A Lawyer

DawnMarch Sweet Talker Registered: March 2008 Location: sunny southwest Posts: 4,382	For Shutterbug Shakedown #23. It felt good to get this off my chest! journaling reads: I don’t know why it is so hard for people to believe that I’m actually a lawyer but for all of my now 20-year career, people have expressed surprise about it. It started when I was admitted to Harvard Law School, and my college friends all said “Wow, I didn’t know you were smart!” And, annoyingly, everyone seemed unduly surprised when I graduated with honors. When I became a lawyer at the ripe old age of 23, everyone I met exclaimed that I was too young to be a lawyer. Elderly gentlemen told me I was too pretty to be a lawyer. I was always being mistaken for the court reporter or a legal assistant. Now that I am apparently “old enough” to be a lawyer, people still tell me that I look too nice to be a lawyer. They are taken aback that I am a partner in one of the biggest and most prestigious law firms in the world. So, let me clear things up once and for all, people: I’m smart, I’m mature, I’m not that nice. And YES, I really, really am a lawyer. A damn good one too. Paper by Bren Boone, Back to Basics Black, and Magnus.
