Strapping
In the not so subtle hierarchies that exist in school, there are a series of practices that those at the top of the ladder subject to those at the bottom. These are compounded at boarding school, where the students who are left largely to themselves, forge their own ritualistic privileges and are reinforced by the very system in which they live.

Factors to Consider Before Applying to Law School
Disposition Different people have different strengths. Your family, friends and teachers may encourage you to go to law school, but if it requires you to operate too far out of your wheelhouse, you may not find it worthwhile in the long run. Likewise, if you want to be an attorney simply because you want to make a great salary, you may consider other careers with this benefit that are more in line with what you enjoy doing. It takes certain skills to be successful as an attorney. You must be willing to work long hours and have the capacity to comb through detailed information to build a case. These same skills are needed to even get your JD. You want to make sure your strengths match up with the rigors of acquiring a law degree before you take the leap. If you do decide that the law is the right career path for you, you still must choose the type of law in which you are most interested, whether it be corporate law or immigration law. These choices can have an effect on where you decide to study.

Fill in the Blank
Mere seconds ago had I pulled up the blank Vocal template, but now—it seems like now has always been—I stare hypnotically at my computer screen, that white glow attracting my eyes in the midst of this naturally lit, near-nightfall room. My gaze hangs, loosely tethered to this page of potential, this "could be," this "not yet," until some unknown force inside of me urges my eyes to focus. I blink rapidly, a few times in succession, and shake my head. I had in mind to write something instructive and encouraging about grad school. Perhaps a "you can do it," or a "at least just try," but now all I can think about is "blank page," which leads to "unwritten thesis," which transforms into "failure."
