In this episode of The Way to College Podcast, I sit down with Pedro J. Rivera to talk about education, career transitions, resilience, and the importance of learning to advocate for yourself.
Pedro shares how a professor first encouraged him to consider law school, how he navigated imposter syndrome and academic challenges, and how he later learned that doing good work is not always enough, you also have to make sure people know what you can do.
We also discuss failure, including Pedro’s experience not passing the bar exam on his first attempt and the confidence he later drew from coming back and succeeding.
Pedro’s advice to students and young professionals is simple:
Apply. Ask. Speak up. Don’t let fear make the decision for you.
And at the end of the episode, he leaves us with this challenge:
