In the inauguration of another milestone occasion meant to be set in the legal realm, after working tirelessly for six years and pushing through, Kim Kardashian shared a personal reflection about her triumphant journey through law school on social media as she encountered opposition and moments of indecision through the process.

In what might be called an open-hearted and touching post, Kardashian candidly shared the trials along the rocky, unorthodox road to her chosen legal career: “It was never smooth; for the better part it went on for too long.” At times, she admitted there were moments of doubt when she would cry because the curriculum was just hard to grasp. Yet, a great moment of awakening dawned on her: “Never ever give up.” Kardashian went on with the metaphor, “And that’s life: you step into the unknown, push through, and come out the other end with knowledge and strength no one can ever take away.”

The difficult program was registered with the California State Bar and linked her 75 college credits to the four-year curriculum, which instead took six years. She thanked her mentors Van Jones, Jessica Jackson, and Erin Haney, as well as Sam Farkas and Chuck Shonholtz for their never-ending support until she made the end of her journey.

Some of the most beautiful moments at the commencement ceremony were when Kardashian was deeply moved by the stories of hardship from Chris Young, Michelle West, and Dawn Jackson-released from prison through interventions she had made-for the inspiration of her aspiration toward criminal justice reform.

Congratulatory messages poured in from all sides-from the friends, family members, to fans in the comment section. Khloé Kardashian exploded with praise: “We are so proud of you!” and many others echoed the sentiment. One user posted on Kardashian’s behalf that she is the “proof that nothing is impossible,” others praised her for juggling law school while raising four kids, building the SKIMS empire, and filming several projects.

Others questioned the veracity of her legal education, with one rhyme-unashamedly declaring, “She’s not a lawyer.” On the contrary, others mentioned how much discipline, courage, and commitment she has: “She may not have the title yet, but she already has the discipline, the courage, and the commitment.”

Comedian Amy Schumer immediately joked that SKIMS should launch a graduation outfit line, sending the reply section into a flurry of witty comments. Meanwhile, another user reported honestly how they went to nursing school inspired by Kardashian and just graduated.

Mixed is the majority reaction, yet admiration continues prevailing in acknowledging Kardashian’s determination. One commenter explained, “This is one of the most interesting and profound things I’ve ever seen a celeb person do with their time and energy.”

However, nothing in her legal journey has been nominally typical; she still wants to bring change to her criminal justice reform through her work, which is to say that whether she is legally practicing, she is already making her mark along with her poetic advocacy and education efforts at this point in her life.
