What was your first job?
When I was fifteen, I got a part time job as a bag boy at the local Winn Dixie grocery store.
What are your hobbies?

What advice would you give to a young student in law school?
If you are going to slack off in law school, your first year is not the time. Also, study groups can be very helpful for exam prep, but your should limit them to no more than four people.
