Before I Sign Off Tonight ...

... I would like to thank the people who made this (my passing) possible:  my agent, my producer who believed in me, my parents who gave birth to me, my big brother who pulled my pigtails whenever possible,   ...   ummm, wait, that's the wrong speech.

... I would like to thank Jason Tolerico.

For specific reasons why Jason made a difference, you can check recent past posts.  But on a general philosophical level, Jason was the whole difference.  He showed me what the bar was looking for in an answer. In his program I was able to see how my writing style differed from the style the State Bar Examiners were looking for.  As a result, I was able to adapt my own style to the "preferred" style, which resulted in a pass.  It took a whole year because I had a lot of bad habits to overcome.  But I have no doubt that Jason's program was the reason I passed.

I acknowledge that individual persons respond differently to different programs.  But for me, after all this time, Jason's program was the solution.

I don't know what will become of this blog now.  It may just hang suspended in time, reflecting this last moment of its existence in perpetuity. 

But I doubt that will be it's fate.

Stay tuned ...

I have followed your blog as one who has to take the bar exam multiple times. It was nice to see you give voice to so many of my own feelings and although we have never met, you were a friend through a difficult time. Congratulations on your well deserved success!!! May the future bring you only the very best!!!

Warmest regards
