Thread: Suits: Rachel Zane (Celebstars & Manofyourdream)

Days, months and years pass by, students comes and they leave, a few dreams becomes a reality while some are shatteredand that is called tough life. For some, basic law is just enough and some, go on to specialize in something. Mathew Gilbert, initially a lawyer but a professor by profession, have been with Columbia University ever since he could remember. At the age of 50, when he passes by the football stadium, he still remembers his class of graduation, class of 1990. That was the day he graduated with a degree in law, proud to have come this far and today, hes twice as proud to have come this far, giving back to the place which made him. He was one of the lucky few who had gotten a scholarship with his excellent grades and even landed an internship at a prestigious firm. Mathew practiced law for a few years, got his feet wet and came back to the university to pass on what he knew, helping the next generation. Once every few years, theres always some student who has the potential to do some good work, go that extra step beyond than the rest of the students and he sees to it that they do so, bringing out the very potential out of them. He had given his life to teaching and didnt even realize when things had gotten so busy. He was married once, but not anymore. It ended few years after he joined the faculty. Though, it wasnt entirely his fault but also hers, that their marriage had ended. It was a mutual decision to separate and walk away from each other. They both made decent money and that was plenty. Like any other day, he sat in the class room, playing judge for a simulated court. These practices were mere examples, a training to a means so when they graduate and go out into the real world, they know what to expect. The scenario may not be similar but tackling strategy would be the same. It would be up to them as to how to put their knowledge to use because theres so much he can do from here. Theyd just started the class and hence, the court when Ms. Zane entered the classroom. All eyes turned towards her, including Mathews. Now, theres a student who has a lot of potential and he knew it. The way she carries herself, confidently, shes born to jump into the ring and fight. He knew it the first day hed seen her a while back in another class. At last, she was in his class and whilst she did great in the first week, last two weeks have been a disappointment. He wasnt oblivious to the news about her boyfriend and he could imagine what she must be going through. But, shes got to move on to concentrate on other things in her life that were just as much important, such as this class. He couldnt help but notice her beige colored top and her pencil skirt, the black heels clicking as she made her way to a chair and sat down. That was the end of it. He drew his attention, along with everyone, back to the two students who were presenting a case. The class was full of bright students, almost 60 to 70 student bodies, eager to learn and let the knowledge soak into them. The class ended shortly after the mock trial ended, with him handing out the quiz that was given at the end of last week. Yet another disappointment as he wondered if he was wrong about her. He walked past her, handing her her graded quiz paper. A big letter C sat right on top of front page. Once the class ended, he had other classes to prepare for and so he quickly made his way out of the building and marched towards his office. He didnt get to eat earlier that day and so, he grabbed an apple that was sitting on top of his desk and took a bite. He went on about catching up his emails as he not only was a professor but a department head, a big responsibility.
