My friend was ADQ'd (academically disqualified) after our grades came out from the end of the first year. She appealed, and just today found out that her appeal was denied. I am trying to empathize, but I don't know why she lets me. If I were her, I would find it difficult to share my pain with someone who gets to continue in school, while my dream is ended so painfully, so publicly.
Yet she has the ability to share her anguish in such a way that I feel privileged to be included. She has walked a very difficult path this past year, and has paid a high price. But she kept going when most would not have, and I respect that. And I really think that she has the ability to succeed in law school, absent the issues that plagued her this past year. I can only hope that what appears to be a slamming door will instead be a redirection to something very good for her. Right now it only appears to be a dangerous dead end, and I'm worried about her.
