Are you having trouble starting?.........

Post by sophia.olive » Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:59 pm

OK I will compile some introductions for those of you trying to come up with a PS.
Hopefully others will contribute........



1. When I saw vultures over head, I went to the roof of the building and untied the three school girls,...........

2. "Thats what she said" echoed off the precipitous cliffs of Mt. Kilimanjaro............

3. When I realized that the rape victim was describing me to the police, I knew I would have to follow him home. Oddly, this was the begining of a long freindship and sparked my desire to become a laywer.........

4. Though I started the fire that was burning down my house on purpose, I felt bad when I realized I forgot about the baby...................

Hopefully, you can just complete the story and GET THAT PS IN!!!!

"Wow, you're really good at arguing, have you ever thought about going to law school" her words continued to echo through my head as a stepped off the plane. That's when I knew this was going to be so much more than month long trip studying abroad in Paris, if was going to change my life forever.

PERFECT. The arguing cliche, the that's when I knew cliche, AND the study abroad cliche all packed together in one neat opening paragraph!

Throw in something about justice and you're pretty much a shoe-in at HYS.

thanks for the laughs :lol:

1. I had a really hard life growing up in the affluent suburbs of [insert city here]
2. My parents' divorce changed my life
3. The economy is really bad right now so I thought I'd try out law school
4. I love community service and saving all the poor people who aren't as affluent and culturally developed as me (ug I really really hate the little rich kids who think they are saving the world crap)

When I realized that the rape victim was describing me to the police, I knew I would have to follow him home. Oddly, this was the begining of a long freindship and sparked my desire to become a laywer.........

this is very weird

I got one.

In March of 2009 i was sitting on my toilet. I feel in. For the next 72 hours I would struggle to survive. My ass submerged in 3 gallons of water hopelessly screaming for help. From this experience I have gaine the strengh, and persistant that demonstrates that I would make a good attorney

I also love personal statements that talk about run ins with the law.

Like:

The sheriff had the cold rifle butt against my forehead. He began to speak and said, "Boy, pull up your pants, and step away from the goat." I had always had a problem with drinking, but in I had hit rock bottem.....

There is one personal statement in the archieves about some one in a feritility clinic and the intro makes it seem like she is shooting drugs in the bathroom of a doctors office.
