Passion towards the community? What does that have to do with law?

Re: Maybe law school is not for me?
I strongly believe that excessive pressure, negative attitude and a poor overall mental state can significantly affect performance. If you are going in with this attitude, you are going to create a downward spiral and continue to get worse.
I don't know if it's a great analogy, but I have very similar experiences in golf. If I'm playing a round, hit a couple of bad shots or miss some easy putts, it negatively affects my mindset. As I get more upset/angry, my focus gets worse and I hit more bad shots and have a pretty terrible round. With my previous round on my mind, going into the next round, as soon as I hit a bad shot it's much easier to slip into that negative frame of mind again.
A therapist isn't a completely ridiculous idea. Professional athletes use sports psychologists all the time.
Do something to change your mindset, or it's just going to get worse.

Re: Maybe law school is not for me?
h3, we are in the same boat, i can totally feel you, and i can understand. Im prepping for the sep test, and im not sure if i will be able to do well or live up to my expectations. I just know that i am not capable of getting a 170 or even a 165, im just hoping for a 160. its depressing, but i think thats just the way it is. All i can do is just keep working and try to get the best score i can get. Reading your post was literally like reading my mind, as all your thoughts that u exlplained, i can relate to them. btw, if u are prepping for the sep test, maybe we can help each other and be be a source of support? i think one think ive felt is that a lot of people on tls cannot relate to us as they have very high expectations, and thus will laugh at our low scores.
