I've taken some time to bask in the news, and I'm still in shock that I'm able to write this, but after 7 years of applying, I have FINALLY been offered a TC!
I had kind of mentally prepared myself that this would be my last cycle before I had to start seriously thinking about a Plan B, but I knew deep down that this was all I wanted to do. All the struggles have paid off though, and I have achieved my dream!
Honestly to anyone who is thinking about giving up, if this is truly what you want then push a little more, your offer could be just around the corner!
This forum and website has been invaluable. I truly do not believe I could have gotten as far as I did without it. Thank you to everyone who has offered advice, insight, encouragement and even just the laughter and jokes. The legal community has some amazing people in it!
