Help with Personal Statement Topic Forum

[smalls 631]

Hey everyone,

I have been struggling to come up with a theme / topic for my personal statement. I have been out of college for a couple of years and now am applying to law school. I have always wanted to pursue a law degree but wanted to get some work experience first before applying to law school.

I currently work for my state government doing communications and marketing work. I have also interned for a public defender agency and C-SPAN in Washington, D.C. In college I did a lot of volunteer work and was heavily involved with student organizations with many leadership positions.

I love politics and want to get a law degree to further my legal education and to continue working for the government. I think I want to focus my personal statement around a "public service" theme but do not know how to structure it / organize it.

I would love to get some outside input and can give more information about myself if anyone is interested. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post something like this.

Thanks,
Sam
