After grandparents remortgaged their home to pay for law school, TikTok became an important tool for passing the bar exam.
A TikTok video of a woman who wants to be a lawyer celebrating after passing her bar tests has gained nearly 9 million views in just four days. Based in Cardiff Seren Lewis filmed herself and her grandparents reading her bar results. The video shows how emotional it was for the three of them when they heard the good news. Lewis got her LLB and master’s degree in Manchester. After that, she went to The University of Law to finish the bar study.
The sacrifices of grandparents paved the way.
“Getting passed the bar and becoming a barrister is the best thing I’ve done so far,” Lewis writes in the description. “But it would not have happened without my grandparents, for whom I will always be grateful.” They took me in when I was two years old and went to bed early to care for a baby. It was the kindest thing anyone could have done for me.
The want-to-be lawyer goes on: The biggest thing I’ve done so far is pass the Bar and become a Barrister. My grandparents, on the other hand, made it possible, and I will always be grateful to them. The nicest thing someone could have done for me was to take me in when I was two years old and go to bed early to care for a baby. It is still very hard for most people in the UK to go to bar school because it is so expensive. They refinanced their house, which they had paid off a long time ago, so they could go. Without that, I would not be where I am now. These people helped me reach this goal, even though it took a lot of hard work and many late nights.
“Going to bar school is still out of reach for most people in the UK because it is so expensive.” They refinanced their house, which they had paid off many years ago, so they could go. Without that, I would not be where I am now. More than 15,000 people have commented on the movie, which has been seen almost 9 million times so far. One person said, “I’m literally crying for you,” and many others praised Lewis’s work.
