"As a junior in college, I asked my academic advisor if applying to law school was playing it safe. Was I wrong to take a well-traveled road when I felt something in me yearning for more? He encouraged me to apply, saying I could do more for the world with legal training. He told me about one of his most gifted students who had to choose between a Fulbright Scholarship or attending law school because, as I recall him saying, the school wouldn&amp;#x27;t give her a deferral. She chose law school and went on to do a great deal, possibly more than she could have with the Fulbright. That student was Hillary Clinton, and at Yale Law School, she met Bill Clinton, whom she married, and the rest is Living History. Her history really is living, because, as we all saw last night, that student didn&amp;#x27;t drop out from the race as expected. I presume she has strategic reasons, like a play for the VP spot, or, I hope, something nobler&amp;amp;#8212;perhaps a guarantee from Obama that he will prioritize universal healthcare. I did apply to law school, and I had to badger my advisor over voicemail to finish my law school recommendation letter (I had asked politely several times with no result). Later, I thought the voicemail had been too pushy, and I apologized to him. He immediately replied, &amp;amp;quot;You weren&amp;#x27;t being pushy! You were just asking for something important.&amp;amp;quot; He then said I was never to apologize again, to him or to anyone else, for asking for something I need. That one commandment from him changed my life, and I have a feeling that Hillary, my fellow Wellesley College sister, not only received the same advice but also intends to follow it&amp;amp;#8212;whether with Obama, the Democratic Party Credentials Committee, or delegates in Denver. I know that many of us voters think that Hillary is delusional, making a massive power play, and/or not the right person for the job, but I don&amp;#x27;t necessarily hold her tenacity against her. Don&amp;#x27;t you think part of success in life, especially political success, is being pushy without apologies? Or at least striking that delicate balance in between? &amp;amp;#8212;Asma"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
