It's part of the process, but the journey is with it when the power is on full throttle and there's no stopping for the sweet success!
Kim Kardashian's study vlog has the markings of hard work
In her November 16 Instagram Reel, Kim gave a tour of her expansive study at her home. To help her prepare for the exam, the reality star showed her white boards where she written down some important test information and a line of hand-written essays in which she has to memorize.
As the clip trails on, so does the exam date. Later, Kim breaks downs in tears and it's relatable. She's exhausted, with her back giving out, and along with her feelings of failure. She places lots of pressure on herself, as she always has, but it's the fuel the lights her, and pushes her to reach the goal.
She writes the following as her caption:
"I’ve shared so much of this journey with you, and this summer, I documented some of the final two weeks of studying - the ups, the downs, and everything in between.On November 7th, I found out I didn’t pass the bar. It was disappointing, but it wasn’t the end.This dream means too much to me to walk away from, so I’m going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I get there."
Many in the commnts cheered her on, including her sister, Khloé who said that she was so proud of her and longtime friend, Malika Haqq. Kim's hairstylist, Chris Appleton, also extended his support, so it's not only her on this attorney journey; it's all of them together.
You got this Kim! Just put your mind into it and it'll happen!
