My plans were to practice law and then possibly go into public service.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was planning to go into law or politics. I was well known for my public speaking. I went to an all-girl boarding school with uniforms. It was very posh for someone like me who came from a world where my parents showed beagles and sold dog products out of a yellow caravan.
Going back to high school and college, I believed I would be involved in public service. I literally could not conceptualize anything else.
When I went back to New Hampshire after graduating from law school, my plan was to go work for a private firm because I had to pay some student loans off and make money and really just be in the private practice of law. Which can be very rewarding.
I worked my way through law school.
I was determined to become a criminal lawyer and help look after the poor.
I was born into public service.
All I know is, I think I would like to continue to do public service.
I got into law school to supplement my business background. I'm not planning to practice law.
As a matter of fact, even when I finished law school, I had no notion of public service then.
I have had a career in public service.
