Need some help picking a topic (I have 2 ideas)
Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2016 8:23 pm
I'm currently torn between two topics.
1. My path to choosing law school. I used to be a pre med student, but I serendipitously stumbled upon an internship at my local Pro Bono office over winter break. I loved the internship and then interned with a local judge the following summer.
2. Achieving more than most people in my position would have. I'm from a blue-collar area (Scranton, PA) and a working class family. Neither of my parents went to college and I went to a public school. I have a 3.9 GPA from a pretty good college and I'm waiting on my LSAT (I was getting high 160's in PTs though). I'm hesitant to use this topic because I actually think I had it pretty good growing up. My parents sacrificed a lot to let me live above our means and I feel like this topic would disrespect that fact.
If anybody has any suggestions for another topic, feel free to let me know. Thank you!
