Their lives are risked for justice
They fight for what is right
They bolster the spirits of the innocent
And go against the oppressors with all their might
These people are called lawyers
They are our modern-day heroes
Polished by years of study
Reliable defenders against our foes
But their job is not that easy
They also have to take the side of the wrong
Only coffee can keep them awake
When they have to read thick books and stay up too long
They have to be clever
They need to be witty
They are required to be emotionally strong too
So as to outsmart the other party
I dream of becoming one someday
A righteous person with integrity
Who will, if given the chance, defend
And put all the oppressed out of their misery

It was three years ago when I wrote this poem. Looking back, I think this was one of the reasons why I decided to take up Accountancy. A lot of people told me that it would be a good pre-law program so I took heed. But I think the wind of fate blew me to a different path. But nevertheless, I am still happy that this became one of my dreams because it really pushed me to to focus on my studies and even encouraged me to excel academically. So here's the aspiring CPA-Lawyer three years ago. (Don't mind the background hihi).
