“To Erica and Ruth,
Thank you both for all of your help throughout the chaos.
Could not have done it without you.
Many thanks!”
Law School was not in my plans when I considered making a career change. As an Occupational Therapist I had qualified and worked in the U.K., the U.S., and Canada. I enjoyed the creativity required to enable individuals with multiple disabilities to maximize functional ability.
Nonetheless, I was ready for a new challenge.
Nudged by a friend, I took the LSAT on a whim and applied to Law school. I was surprised to be accepted at Osgoode! Competing with outstanding fellow candidates was tough. I benefitted from the practical programs which provided opportunities to volunteer in courts and clinics. These showed me that lawyers also find ways to help. As a lawyer now, I appreciate that I can continue to think creatively. I apply a different knowledge base – this time legal principles and tools to improve the lives of my clients.
I like to believe that my previous career path gives me some enhanced appreciation of the multitude of challenges faced by clients. People often comment about my career switch as a dramatic career change. However, . I found that law is also a “helping profession”.
