"I completed", not "I have taken".

"underage", not "under age".

"It", not "I was dismissed".

DELETE: The last two sentences of the second paragraph.

I don't really know how to fix this sentence but if you want to keep "ever since the incident" it should be "I have not driven..."
I think I'd word it differently, like "I havent driven under the influence since."
or just take it out, because if you had you most likely would have two DUIs

Thanks for the tip. If I do delete the last two sentences of the second paragraph, how am I to show what I have learned?

As written, your addendum suggests that you have graduated from alcohol to marijuana.

In August of 2005 I was arrested for under age DUI in the state of New Jersey. I have taken a 12 hours Alcohol Education Class and served a 150 hours of community service in a public library. The decision to drink under the legal age and drive is amongst the worst of my life. Ever since the incident, I have never drove behind the wheel under the influence.

In May of 2011 I was arrested for possession of Marijuana. I was dismissed on February 21, 2012. My poor decision to engage in this reckless action will daunt me for years to come. Even though I haven’t paid any fines or was placed on probation, I made a commitment to inform many people around me to never make the mistakes that I have made.
Were you high when you wrote this?

Delete all but the first two sentences of each paragraph really. Law schools don't care, as long as there isnt a long string of repeat offenses. They just want you to disclose
