3 Kim Kardashian Is Living Proof That One Should Always Chase Their Dreams

Since 2019, Kim Kardashian has been working on becoming a lawyer, and in December 2021, she passed the “baby bar” law exam. Of course, someone as wealthy as Kim doesn’t need to work another day in her life.

However, Kim decided to pursue her passions, and she is doing that at an age most people would find too old. “I think it would be cool to start a firm that does just justice reform and only hires formerly incarcerated people.

Just do stuff like help fund cases and help fund getting an investigator,” Kim revealed. The star was also open about her journey and not giving up on her studies. “I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it,” Kim admitted.

1 Kim Kardashian Didn’t Forget Her Beginnings

Lastly, Kim acknowledges her past, and she isn’t ashamed of who she used to be. “I was so desperate to be famous. In 2007 that was the ultimate goal,” she said. “I had an apartment on Robertson. I mean, you couldn’t get more desperate than that.

But it’s so fun to look back at that time in my life. It was so much fun and it was so innocent… I don’t even know if I had a thought of what fame was. I mean, probably the power.

I think it seemed glamorous and fun. I’m not one of those people that thinks: ‘Oh my God, with fame comes all of these hardships.’ My life is so amazing and awesome and a lot of it came from the spotlight,” Kim said. ”

I know that a lot of negative things come from the spotlight, but I don’t choose to ever focus on them, so I don’t ever regret my path or being famous. I’m not a complainer. I do think that challenges have come into my life because of the lack of privacy, but I still think that overall, our life is pretty blessed because of everything that we’ve worked hard for. I’ll never complain about it.”
