Maybe it's because I can relate to it, but I really liked it. Where are you applying?

Interesting read. It is clear that you put substantial effort & thought into this writing. The ending hints at a touch of naivety as well as unrealistic expectations of law school, but overall this is an effective personal statement showing that you are searching for guidance. Nevertheless, while law school is not a cathedral & law is not a religion, it will serve you well to view judges as God & trials as Judgment Day.

Re: First Draft of Personal Statement-- Your Thoughts?
Hey guys I really appreciate the input.
Canadian Wolf: I see what you mean with the last paragraph. I'm about to go back and revise it--a lot of the ending right now is just word vomit.
RareBreed: Thank, I put a lot of thought into it so I'm glad you liked it. My top choices are UVA, GULC, Duke, and Vanderbilt, but I'm applying just about everywhere.
Do you guys think it sounds authentic enough? Do you get a feel for who I am as a person?
Thanks for all your help!
