WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Most people attribute success to never
failing. I disagree. Success means
persevering despite failure or opposition.
Success means standing back up after
you fall. No matter how hard it looks or
the obstacles you face, success means
you never, ever give up. Keep pushing.
Keep trying. Do not quit. — Rachael Vale
WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR WOMEN
WANTING TO BECOME AN ATTORNEY
IN MACON?
The Macon Bar is filled with gifted,
intelligent female attorneys and judges
who exemplify excellence, public
service, and balance. Ask one to serve as
your mentor and pay her investment in
you forward. — Corrie Hall
LOOKING BACK I WISH:
I had known how rewarding a career in law
could be and had started my journey sooner.
To be independently recognized as an attorney
who can help people navigate their legal issues
while also being a mother of three creates a lot
of positive self-worth. Being able to balance a
career with family time so I can be there for my
children and their activities makes my
successes that much sweeter. — Carrie Weldon
