Have you worked on a particularly interesting assignment that was challenging? If so you could base your personal statement on that and tie it in with the analytical and research skills and how that makes you an ideal candidate for law school.

I'm not more or less convinced about your ability to succeed as a law student or a lawyer after reading that. Are you?

I was diagnosed at 21.

I have not written it all yet. It's just a beginning, which was what I was hoping to get some feedback on. In the end, it will portray that.

Why do you need help with the beginning? You don't want to waste the thirty minutes it'll take to tell a compelling story with a middle and an end of the beginning stinks?

Lol.. Chill.

I don't know about you but to me the beginning and the ending are two of the most important parts. If you dont agree, that's fine. No need to bash on my question. Just don't reply.

I'm just saying that you should probably write the whole thing out if you want decent criticism.
