Several PS topics, wanna know which one should be included

Post by lxhyss » Tue Aug 07, 2012 9:13 am

Well, I'm going to apply this cycle. So hopefully it is not too late to think about my PS now.
Any input will be appreciated, as long as it is reasonable.
Here are the topics:
1. Went to an racial autonomy province(you are right I'm international.) for college. Facing many hardships such as culture shock, language and climate at first, but was able to overcome it at last.
2. Once traveled by plane and when the it is going to land, the radio said we should keep our seatbelt fasten, but people just ignore and unfasten it anyway, which made me realize the importance of order and hence the law
3. Went to a government orphanage to hold a series of lectures, which last for several months and is about basic knowledge of law and something else. Moved by their positive attitude to their hard life and decided to fight for their rights, using a weapon called law.
4. Being a philosophy major, obsessed by hermeneutic at college and regard it as the best way to reveal truth, finally choose to apply law school because law is hermeneutic in essence.

Are the topics above appropiate for a law school PS?

I'm no expert, still trying to figure out my PS. That being said I agree with Cork, #1 has potential... dont think you should bother with the others.
