TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2025-26

Tell us about a personal achievement outside of law that you’re proud of. What did it teach you? (250 words) - Really struggling with this as I feel most of my achievements are somewhat law related e.g things I've done in my legal work experience or degree. I've got non-legal work experience but nothing is standing out as to what i'm proud of 😆

Im curious about this one as well. Would mentoring a peer in a subject during studies be a sufficient example for this?
