Agreed. I find myself in a similar situation and just by reading other people's drafts and asking a few important questions about my life I know where I am headed. Ask yourself: Why do I want to go to law school? What makes me different than the other 10,000 applicants? Best advice I've received so far: "What makes you YOU?"

You are going about it backwards. Tell us what is unique about you and what would make you a great lawyer, not what makes you run of the mill. Give us that blurb and we can give you better direction on what to write about.

Your story about the professor is just a hook. Maybe you want to talk about turning mistakes into blessings, or maybe you want to talk about your growth over time and how the professor chronicled it in her classes. Maybe each class is a "milestone" in your growth intellectually or as a leader. The initial story is just your hook.

Well a hook is a start, at least.

I shall continue my introspective quest to think of something interesting about myself.
