    Kim Kardashian has told how her six-year law school journey "wasn't easy"

    The 44-year-old reality star graduated this week after working on the four-year Law Office Study Program since 2019, which took six years due to her work and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the star admitted she had "moments of doubt, tears, and triumph" amid each course


    She wrote on Instagram: "Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. It wasn't easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up. Each course brought moments of doubt, tears, and triumph - especially when I conquered subjects I initially feared.

    "That's the beauty of life: you step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away.

    "I chose a rigorous program registered with the California State Bar, building on 75 college credits to complete a four-year curriculum that stretched to six. The journey was real, and so is the accomplishment.

    "Having Chris Young, Michelle West, and Dawn Jackson, whom my team and I championed for their release from prison, speak at my graduation meant the world to me. Their deeply personal stories of perseverance through adversity and injustice profoundly inspires me and form the heart of my "why."

    "I'm deeply grateful to Van Jones, who introduced me to this path, and to my mentors, Jessica Jackson and Erin Haney, whose guidance was invaluable.

    "Special thanks to Sam Farkas and Chuck Shonholtz, who dedicated countless hours to help me succeed. (sic)"

    Kim also admitted going through law school has "shaped [her] profoundly".

    She added: "This experience has shaped me profoundly, and I'll carry its lessons with me forever. Here's to celebrating resilience and new beginnings! (sic)"

    Kim's sister Khloe Kardashian commented: "We are so proud of you!"

    At Kim's graduation, Jessica Jackson, one of the attorneys who had sponsored Kim's programme, gave a speech and praised the Skims founder for her hard work and dedication.

    She said on stage: "It's an absolute honour to stand here today, not just as mentors, but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen.

    "Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this programme with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read.

    "Over the course of this programme, Kim has dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years. That's a total of 5,184 hours of legal study, that's time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others."
