It all started some years back, precisely in 2021, when I was usually led by other senior colleagues whenever our chambers are having a moot.
My first appearance, despite not being the lead counsel, was so terrifying for me, I was scared of being drilled and probably end up fucking up, well, I prepared well and did my best.
The next moot I participated in, I was again led by a senior colleague, at this stage however, I was more confident and gutsy unlike the first one.
In all of these I was doing, I was keenly concentrating and learning from the experienced counsels and the judges presiding over the moot, I usually put down the new things I learnt to put it to proper use when the need arises.
Fast forward to my second year, I started taking up lead counsel position, leading junior colleagues to moot, at that very moment, I appreciated my younger self for putting my precious time into learning procedures.
Currently in my third year, and I have a lot to be thankful for, I am lucky to be surrounded by passionate colleagues who keep instilling this knowledge in me and me always being ready to learn.
Apparently, we are doing better off than the way we started, we might still have a lot to learn, but thankfully, we aren't the same persons we were some years back.
Until the goal is reached, we will keep striving to achieve growth, both personally, professionally and in all aspects of life.
