My 20's I worked so hard it was insane, worked full time and went to school full time, then law school, first five years I practiced law my short work days were 12 hours long. But, I must admit my most memorable day was being sworn into the CA Bar. I was so proud to have accomplished my biggest goal in life, as I was being sworn in by the federal justice tears started pouring down my eyes, I resorted to just mouthing the words because I could no longer get them out. My older sister and I were sworn in the same day. I don't think there was a more proud parent in the room than my mother. We asked Judge Cannon to swear us in at the same time (you get sworn in by federal justice and then a state judge) and Judge Cannon says "this is my first threesome" my sister and I couldn't stop laughing. Mother had no clue what that meant and I'm guessing neither did Judge Cannon.

2009-2011...was like living a nightmare, but it made me realize how strong I am and not to sweat the small stuff. Life's too short to be miserable. If you're not adding to my life in a positive way, don't let the door hit you on the ass when I kick you out

Eli, does the name Gilbert Ochoa ring a bell. He was a D.A. in Orange Co. at one time and probably a Judge by now. I use to go surfing with Gilbert years ago and suddenly life goes on... Congrats on reaching your goals truly an accomplishment.
