a lawyer

today my parents attended a court case.
they came back after 9 hours,
and mum said: apple, you better not become a lawyer. the way they twist and manipulate your words chills my bones. such deceptive and sly people. And its an incredible stressful job, our lawyer's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't have any food for 9 hours.
and dad said: apple, after today, i'm more certain that you should become a lawyer. watching our lawyer fight so passionately for justice, i was very much inspired. it's an incredibly meaningful job.

:/

and then i heard them discussing today's events in court, and i had mixed feelings: wow, i want to be like that person. this is what i really want to do. but on the other hand, that sounds so much like the drama and the deceptiveness in people that i despise so deeply.

my parents have made a 9 hour court case sound so much like an entire Life.
why is my heart is pounding with curiosity just by hearing them recall it?



but for now.. back to doing English homework.
