"Public Attorneys Office (PAO) chief Persida Rueda Acosta failed the bar twice—in 1987 and 1988. On her third try in 1989, she ranked fourth. Acosta blamed poverty for twice failing the bar, saying her parents could not afford her tuition and other school requirements, forcing her to miss classes."

I was really depressed when I failed twice and I thought of not taking it a third time. But my bosses at the judical court told me never to give up.
