    @Jaysen reading this brought me close to tears. I can’t wait to show my dream firm how much I want to work for them and how much all of this means to me.

    Thank you for including this in the Weekly Newsletter because it reminded me of how my drive and determination I have. All those late nights and working multiple jobs to fund law school to go down the (‘wrong’) barrister’s route. I can’t believe I am going to do it all over again and self fund the LPC - but this time it’s truly worth it. Becoming a barrister only directed me to what I now know is my dream job.

    Thank you for creating this amazing platform, full of talented, wonderful and supportive people. I have learnt so much ever since starting my journey in January this year. My heart is full of gratitude. Please keep doing the good work! ♥️♥️♥️

    Honestly the day I secure a TC I will send you a bottle of whatever you drink 😂

    I knew TCLA before I knew any other website or platform and I feel like it's sort of like my guardian angel now.

    Thank you for the link - I will try to get in touch with Zahra because I can relate to her story SO MUCH! I came back to Mauritius and worked with some solicitors which literally made me realise that there was another side to the legal profession that I had never quite explored (although that was mainly due to lack of opportunities and exposure to the legal profession).

    Thanks for your unconditional support, Jaysen!
