I like your writing style. I'm going to steal it. It doesnt have "I want to go to law school because XXXX" at the end of beginning so I like that part too.

Do you have any tips for translating things that occurred at work into something that isnt boring as hell to read?

Well, this was my third try at a statement. I concentrated using active verbs, being descriptive (but not overly so), and adding my own personal thoughts to break the monotony of excessive story-telling. Just keep working at it. I'd also suggest going to your school's writing center, if you're enrolled. It really helped me.

Bumping... I would appreciate any input; I'm hoping to start sending off applications in the next week.
