Best advice I've ever received -	Even if you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.
I love court reporting because...	I honestly love the challenge of trying to hang on to every word, I love using my hands. I love watching television and translating everything into steno inside my head. And, of course, I’m happy that something I enjoy is going to afford me a flexible schedule and a comfortable living.

Best Court Reporting Tip -	Write everything as if you are being tested at that very moment (easier said than done).
