thanks, y'all, but you should try being her mother and winning an argument---it ain't happening---you have to pull the "I am the Mommy card" to get your way......hahaha

Then she should be an excellent lawyer!

[expatgirl]

oh, I wouldn't want to face her on the other side of the court----that's for sure....she goes for the jugular.....goodness where does she get that from???????

 

[Fisher's Mom]

my daughter who is graduating from college this year and wants to go on to law school has earned a fellowship for the next 2 years.....lots of folks applied for this job and I think that she got it 'cause she's got a big mouth.....she and her significant other competed quite well in international debates and she's been working in the California Women's Prisons system for the last 3 years.....she is known for her work in prison reform.....she'll never make $ that is for sure.......she will work pro bono for women in prison...I know her too well...well, after the two years she plans to go to law school

Wow! Congrats on this, expat! Besides her "big mouth", she must be freakin' smart to get that fellowship!!!! And just think, when she's a lawyer, you can really cut loose cuz she'll be able to get you off in court!

 

[expatgirl]

thanks, Fisher's Mom, I really appreciate that......I'll post a site that shows her and her partner (significant other as well) and their debate progress this past year.you can go to: News Release, News and Events, Claremont McKenna College Kari W.

sorry, y'all for some reason, the link above ends with --she's and will not work. If you delete this, it will work. I will try it one more time below but if the same thing happens, that will work.

LOL I didn't notice this second link, but I worked my way around the site and found the article. I really admire all she has done. I can give a speech, but debating is not something I could ever do.
