What a Honolulu Law Student Worries About

[RoryeDigital]

really cool video man, good luck

[mootopia]

Aloha, and well done! I'm starting grad school in Honolulu this Fall and I'm packing lots of worries myself... I'll keep your positive attitude in mind. Wishin you and your little girl all the best!

Hey even if you shatter your leg riding BMX, you can still go to class and put your leg up on the desk. Try little notes and small meaningful gifts to help your daughter while you are away at the library, something she can look at and think of you. Good video, touching.

[RELubber]

That "balance" you want is going to be extremely difficult to achieve. As Joseph Story wrote "The law is a jealous mistress and requires a long and constant courtship." Truer words were never spoken regarding the study AND practice of law.

I wish you well but suggest you include "One L" in your reading. But, seeing as its October, you're getting an idea of what law school REALLY IS, so you don't have time to read recreationally; well, other than the Sunday comics maybe!

Good luck!!!

[emilywednesday]

Great video, but you made me miss WSRSL & Hawaii soooooo much. I graduated last year and I'm away for now but it was just like being back on the aina. Best of luck with everything, and enjoy your time at Richardson. They'll give you the little speech about "staying balanced" but it seems like you've already got it down. Hang on to your creativity through school though; it seems like you have a gift. Aloha.

[barronoda]

mahalo nui loa for the kind wishes, emilywednesday! Remember there is always beauty in wherever you may currently find yourself even if u have to go looking for it. And you're never too far away from Hawaii because home is what u keep close to the heart. aloha :D

p.s. we had our first day of orientation today and they did talk about balance!

[caragu97]

Good luck, Barron! I'll see you in class this fall!

[barronoda]

[viper4shane]

Where do I sign to have you as my Lawyer? Great video! The introduction starts off getting to know Barron Oda. He displays himself as a down to earth guy who looks after himself by staying in shape by taking care of his daughter. So what makes you think he wont take good care of you if hes your lawyer? This Entry has it all! Great camera work, music and speech. Congratulations and Good Luck. Aloha.

[barronoda]

mahalo for the positive vibes!  your comment made me smile :)
