6. 4. 2. Don’t worry about other people’s work. When you finish your exams, each and every one, get out of the building and do not look back. You have better things to do than hear what other people wrote on their exams.
BARRETT FREDERICK
I learned that my dream is a reality. I always said that I wanted to be an attorney and help others. I would dream of becoming a big-time attorney who went back to my community and changed things. I have remained on track to do what I said that I would. Despite some of the obstacles I’ve faced in life, I am closer to achieving my dream. I still have the passion in my heart for helping my community that I’ve had for years. Being in law school has made me more confident in my ability to shed light on the issues in Memphis and change them.

Explore the city! I have learned how awesome Memphis actually is and how it truly has so much to offer. Take me to Earnestine and Hazel’s and I’ll love you forever.

Don’t complain about your life prior to law school. Before law school, I might catch myself complaining about things like long days at work or being stuck in traffic while getting my kids to school. But, law school has a way of putting everything into perspective. Now, that hour sitting in traffic is often the only time I have together with my kids. I’ve learned to treasure every minute with them, even if it is spent sitting in traffic.

Participate in Alternative Spring Break. I’ll always remember doing it my 1L year because it was the first chance I had to actually take what I had learned here in school and make it real. It’s easy to get bogged down in work and forget why you chose to come to law school in the first place. ASB reminds you what it means to sit down with real people and help them through tough legal choices.

I have learned through many meals and hours of research that Central BBQ does, in fact, have the best BBQ in Memphis.
