My Succession Law assignment arrived in the mail yesterday. I passed ! Now all I have to do is achieve a Pass on the November exam and I will rack up another subject towards my Law degree. I’m still waiting for my Family Law assignment to turn up in the mail. I lodged it just over a month ago. I’m beginning to see my Law course as a series of steps along the way. Another student at my university said to me a couple of years ago: “Remember - the important thing in completing your degree is not brains. The most important quality you need is persistence”. I’m hoping she’s right. If brains is the pre-eminent attribute you need, I’m in real trouble.
