The family dining room. It's a warm, cozy evening. The table is set for dinner. Andrei, a young man in his early twenties, sits with his parents, Atty. Marco and Atty. Xandra, both successful lawyers. The atmosphere is filled with the aroma of a delicious home-cooked meal.
Andrei: (nervously shifting in his seat) Mom, Dad, I want to talk to you about something.
Atty. Xandra: (smiling warmly) Of course, honey. What's on your mind?
Atty. Marco: (leaning forward, showing interest) Yes, son. We're listening.
Andrei: (takes a deep breath) I've been thinking a lot about my future, and I know what I want to do. I want to pursue my dream—to be a lawyer, just like both of you. But I want to specialize in commercial law.
Atty. Xandra: (eyes lighting up) Oh, Andrei! That's wonderful to hear. Commercial law is a fascinating field. What inspired this decision?
Andrei: (looking determined) I've always admired the work you both do and after my internship at the firm this summer, I realized how much I enjoy the complexity and challenges of commercial law. I want to help businesses navigate the legal landscape and contribute to their success.
Atty. Marco: (nodding approvingly) I'm proud of you, son. It's a demanding specialty, but I have no doubt you have the dedication and intelligence to excel in it.
Atty. Xandra: (reaching out to hold Andrei's hand) We'll support you every step of the way, Andrei. Your father and I have always believed in you. Pursuing law school and specializing in commercial law is a big commitment but incredibly rewarding.
Andrei: (smiling, feeling a wave of relief) Thank you, both of you. Your support means everything to me. I've already started looking into colleges and programs that have strong commercial law departments.
Atty. Marco: (thoughtfully) Have you considered where you might want to go?
Andrei: Yes, I have a few schools in mind. The University of [University Name] has an excellent program. I think it would be a great fit for me.
Atty. Xandra: (beaming with pride) That's an excellent choice. We'll help you with the application process and anything else you need.
Atty. Marco: And remember, Andrei, it's not just about the education. It's also about the experience, the connections you make, and the passion you bring to your work.
Andrei: (nodding) I understand, Dad. I'm ready to work hard and make the most of this opportunity.
Atty. Xandra: (raising her glass) To Andrei, and his bright future as a commercial lawyer.
Atty. Marco: (raising his glass) To Andrei.
Andrei: (raising his glass, feeling a sense of purpose and excitement) To the future.
With the clinking of glasses, Andrei's journey to pursue his dream of becoming a commercial lawyer officially began, supported by the unwavering belief and love of his parents.
