Graduation is coming up


I will be graduating from law school in a month! This is an unbelievable accomplishment for me. Most of you know I was diagnosed with 3b cervical cancer during my second year of law school. Told I only had a 20% chance of surviving I knew I would never be able to finish law school. Even if I survived I couldn't imagine going back after surviving something as devastating and paralyzing as Cancer.

I did return to law school only 6 months after diagnosis and one month after being cleared of cancer. It was a difficult journey however, nothing could compare the difficulties I endured fighting cancer. Now I am proud to say that I am only a month away from accomplishing something that seemed unaccomplishable.

I've decided to have a little graduation party and was wondering if any of you creative gals had some good ideas for the party. I am having a HUGE party in Massachusetts after I take the bar but I felt like I should also have one after my actual graduation (in FL). So any creative ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Also, we have a great special going on at Get The Bean. Buy 3 lbs of coffee and we will give you a sample bag of our Pumpkin Spice!

And....if you want to help me raise money to fight cancer check out our charity Coffee

  20. First of all congratulations!! That is inspiring to me because I am in school and going through treatment at the same time. It can be done! I was wondering if you could send me some HPV information. I am including it in a project on diseases of the reproductive system. Thought you would be a great source =)

  25. You, girly, are amazing.

    A cancer survivor AND a law school graduate/future lawyer...I've been reading your blog and it's inspirational and educational. Thank you for being so open.

    Not sure if I have any party ideas, but I love the 'bar' theme and of course the Law & Order music! I would be carrying a tape recorder everywhere I went. LOL
