Johannesburg lady becomes lawyer
It takes several years of perseverance to become a lawyer, with the University of Pretoria graduate telling Briefly News that she fully embraced all the obstacles she encountered:
“I have been working towards this moment for a very long time. Standing in the middle of that courtroom and being welcomed into this noble profession was confirmation that I am planted exactly where I need to be.
“Between morning meetings, chasing deadlines, drinking lots of hot chocolate, water and green tea (I am not a fan of coffee), and late nights, there is so much learning that happens. Apart from the ‘how to become a lawyer 101’ skills, I have learnt so many soft skills, such as compassion, patience and the importance of remaining still in every situation.”
Gorgeous Kedibone explains that her journey in the legal field not only made her a stronger person but changed her for the better too:
“They were not lying when they said after articles, you come out the other side as a different person, and for me, it was for the better. I am forever grateful.”
Qualified attorney shares future aspirations
In addition to rubbing shoulders with influential people, the newly minted attorney also overcame imposter syndrome and became more confident in herself, even during the most stressful of times:
“Practice is generally a stressful environment and burnout, especially towards the end of the year, is common. Taking much-needed breaks has been my saving grace.
“However, through it all, I had a great support structure, and I can safely say that it was all worth it.”
Kedibone shares her ambitions for the future, which involve gathering more skills and growing within the fraternity:
“I want to continue doing more occupational and mine health and safety work, writing more articles, expand my networking opportunities, continue to lend a helping hand to those who want to walk this journey, and grow in this profession.
“Above all, I want to be the best possible version of myself. I owe that to myself.”
