Hello I need some help developing a personal statement.
My ideas are as follows and I would love some feedback:
-Unemployed:
found an internship at a non profit which spawned interest in public service.
Started paralegal classes which taught provided me a practicle sense of the legal profession.
conclusion- I think I can positively contribute to the community that x law school is part of and I have a practicle sense of what it is to be a lawyer.
-College experience:
I wrote for my college newspaper my final semester of college and had to learn an entire trade and write a huge amount of articles in ten weeks. I was one of the only people in the news paper to do this and I had a cover story.
My goal is to study administrative law, but I dont know if it is neccessary to be flagrant about this in a personal statement.
