I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.
In high school, I discovered myself. I was interested in race relations and the legal profession. I read about Lincoln and that he believed the law to be the most difficult of professions.
In high school, I won a prize for an essay on tuberculosis. When I got through writing the essay, I was sure I had the disease.
When I went to law school, nobody heard of civil rights.
I soon found law school an unmitigated bore.
