How to Commence Your Villain Arc

😋

I only knew “veracity” in that context, didn’t realise there was a related adjective. Makes sense but.

True story, I do have a completed Masters.
I applied for law school as well, but deferred. Dunno if I’ll be bothered to enrol

I tried to find that meme (I think it was the two button template) when you were trying to decide if you should go back to school.

Ahhh… I can’t remember making one like that. Doesn’t mean I didn’t make one though.

I was wrong...it was a kermit meme, not a two button. So did you decide to go back to school?

I was accepted into law school, just dunno if I want to

I was going to try for law school before I got multiple sclerosis. Law is beautiful. But I bet my graduate degree would not have been enough to get into law school. You could become a defense attorney for the criminally insane. 👌

Are you in the US? I know there are specific scholarships and programs for people with serious medical issues. I know some folks who’ve gone to College after heart issues who have benefited.
Perhaps it would help if you had a letter of support from the MS Society???

I hadn't thought about the money...good idea! Now, it would be a problem with concentration. For instance, I used to love to read. Now, it takes great effort and makes me tired. Parts of my brain were more badly damaged while other areas of my brain were ignited with new pathways. It was a wild ride before stabilizing. MS affected cognition, speech, mobility...and a lot of other symptoms overlapped with CPTSD. Whew! It was hard work getting used to a new brain. I once could play chess and see 8 moves ahead. Not any more. Still learning about my new superpowers, though. 🙃

Could you get a position as an advocate for people with MS? Paid or unpaid?
I know someone who works as an advocate (paid). She works with lawyers. It’d be a way to test yourself out, and cou”d be a pathway to law school if it works well.

Well, now. That's an interesting idea. You know, the worst part about it was the diagnosis process. If the doctors had tried to understand why I was using two canes and sometimes a wheelchair, we may have gotten to a point of managing the symptoms faster. I lost my job, my husband, my house. I didn't mind the loss of my husband but I sure as neck minded the loss of my job and house. if I could help advocate, I'd like that. Of course, we have to be our own best advocates, right? But I had no idea what MS was or what was going on with my muscles and brain. God, that was pure hell.
