Aastha Vyas

I completed my first year of BA LLB hons from Presidency University, School of Law. I am from Mumbai, but for my legal education, I moved out to pursue my dream.

Leaving my city & settling into a completely different city was initially a difficult phase for me. I was giving up what I had & was taking the risk, but even in that fear of risk I had a firm determination that pushed my confidence. Being away from family was not easy but this was the turning point of my life which made me more independent, responsible, hardworking & now every morning is a motivation to learn something new & challenge myself.

I believe that it does not matter which year of law school you belong to, if you know what you want in your life, your hard work makes it happen. I always had a determination & motivation that made my dreams come true no matter how much time I had to invest.

Entering into law school completely changed my life. I met people from different cities, & I got an opportunity to have a glimpse of their perspective which helped me develop my writing & communication skills. I started taking part in all the activities be it moot court, trial, debates, everything for me was not a mere competition but my passion.

What is surprising yet motivating is that until a year back I had no idea that being a lawyer would become so important to me.

Until May, 2019, I did not know my passion for law & here exactly one year later I exactly know what I want in my life, my vision is clear & it motivates me to do every little thing.

I still remember those days of my life, where I had completed my 12th grade board examination & my eyes were set on the colleges of Delhi University with no vision, but now when I think about my life an year back I am so glad about the fact that my so called dream did not come as it gave me a better vision & everyday motivation to explore.
