Kim Kardashian, who has been navigating the legal waters for the past six years, made an unprecedented move by not only disclosing her failure in the bar exam but embracing it with a candidness that left even her detractors in awe. "You get the results on a Friday, and I knew Sunday morning they were going to be live on the internet," she shared with the New York Times, her tone brimming with determination amidst the initial pangs of disappointment. "I was like, 'OK, let's do this. I know what I've got to do. This really sucks because I put so much time into it, but I know what I can do better.'"
The 45-year-old reality star-turned-law aspirant admitted to a moment of self-pity, "I didn't feel good about it. I was really uncomfortable and not confident for a while." However, her mindset quickly shifted from regret to resilience, as she posted on her Instagram Story, "Falling short isn't failure—it's fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more."
Her dedication to the cause wasn't just a fleeting phase; it was a way of life for the SKIMS founder. As she told journalist Martha Debayle late last month, "Discipline is a form of self-respect." Kim cherished the routine of studying, finding solace in its structure and control. "Maybe it's a control freak in me, but I love that space and I love living in that space no matter what," she mused.
Despite acknowledging that "it just wasn't my time" to pass the bar exam, Kim exuded a sense of purpose and determination. "I instantly knew that it's a bigger lesson and that I just have to do better and try harder and get back at it," she vowed, her resolve unwavering in the face of setback.
