People who were not high achieving in law school and did not like the experience of law school, what kept you going?

I have mixed experiences. Sometimes I really enjoyed it. Sometimes I got academic achievement awards (i.e. for first and second place in classes). Other times, I did pretty poorly, mostly because the administrators at my school are corrupt as fuck and would do stuff like stir up BS to distract me during exams. Ever been taken to honor council during your finals to discern the veracity of civil rights complaints (rather than any investigation of the complaint)? If you're wondering if that sounds a lot like retaliation, it is according to the Department of Education's Dear Colleague Letter. If you're wondering what the school does in such circumstances, they use DP and EP violations to deny the facts and they retaliate. A lot. What keeps one going after the ~10th cheating investigation fails to find any credibility and after records requests that show administrators outright lie on the record and fighting the school successfully all the way to the goddamn attorney general (even after they fucking lied in their brief to him!)? Overcoming those fucking jackasses is the answer, and I will be more successful than the handful of sheltered, entitled golden children motherfuckers who couldn't even imagine the size of my hemmorhoids while fighting desperately to retain my position when they were simply worried about passing Torts and Criminal Law.
