Conveyor Personal Statement

I began to write a personal statement that would follow a design or formula that would be all too familiar to any admissions counselor. After reflection of my life and my future goals, I decided that following a formula would not do me any justice.
For my entire life, I followed a formula set in front of me by my parents. They set a blueprint for a successful life in front of me and coached me for many years on how to be successful. They even taught me the ability to deal with adversity and sure failures. One minor flaw in their plan was teaching me to deal with the largest roadblock: myself. Any successful person should agree that the largest obstruction to attaining personal goals is a person’s determination and desire to achieve those goals. …show more content…

I love to give back to others, and I see this as an opportunity to help my peers. Through education of our contract and work rules, to representing my peers in meetings with management, I have used my role as a Shop Steward as a way to give back to others.
My goals in law school can be tied to one large goal: intellectual enrichment. Through this single goal, I will achieve my other goals of preparing myself for a life in practicing law, learning how to even further sharpen my skills of time management, motivation, and balance. Law school also prepares students for the ability to overcome life’s unknowns and its many obstacles. This preparation leads me to another goal- constant preparedness. If I am constantly prepared for anything, I will likely be able to succeed at any obstacle.
The Florida International University Law School celebrates one of the most diverse student bodies. The student body is known for giving back to the community- a gesture I admire and excited to carry on. The outstanding faculty is known for its commitment to scholarship and furthering their fields of expertise. As a younger law school, I feel as though I can not only grow with the school itself, but further my skills and celebrate diversity whilst preparing myself for a career in

But the authors say that sometimes during the journey it will be mentors that will not help us the way we expect them to do it. We have to be ready to hear things that we don’t want to hear and know that no body can’t tell us that we can't do something, because believe that we can’t do something is the worst thing that we can ever do. We need to have a stepping stones to lead us to our next adventure; we need to see failure as stepping stones to success. So we must be willing to fail if we want to succeed. We will face great obstacles along this journey bigger than stumbling blocks and stepping stones.

This helps focus on the problem and build upon personal effort and effective strategies for the future. The difference between those who are helpless and give up and those who strive to learn lie in people’s definition of why they failed. Some people wish to succeed while others would rather give up because it’s easier. A study from the University of Illinois showed that persistent students do not sulk in their failure, but they make it a mission to solve the problem. This takes us back to the idea of bringing up children with a growth mind-set.

For example, I have taught myself, through numerous years of practice, the frustrating game of golf, which proves to me again and again that I must always stay optimistic and keep a positive attitude or I will never improve. You stay upbeat when you are having an off day, and you enjoy the days when you play well. You take the bad along with the good. In golf and school alike, I love taking on the challenges that come my way because I know that if I don’t give up and hold onto my sense of optimism, my persistence and consistent effort will sooner or later pay

After nearly losing my academic scholarships, I was no longer focused on where to apply for law school, but rather whether I could remain a student at OSU. When I think of significance, I think of the moments that completely changed my life. Receiving an F was perhaps one the most significant things to ever happen to me. I had to take a step back and no longer desired to pursue every endeavor I could find for the sake of name advancement, résumé building or personal gain. Instead, I wholeheartedly sought after a select few opportunities with purpose of making the lives of others better, while maintaining a part-time job and my academic priorities.

Dear Admissions Committee, Thank you for your continued consideration of my application for the Texas Law Class of 2027. I am currently on the waitlist and would like to enthusiastically express my continued desire to attend. As a proud Texas Ex who majored in the College of Liberal Arts, the law school’s significance was always tangible—professionally and academically. Working as a file clerk and paralegal at an Austin firm, I witnessed the intelligence, compassion, and legal prowess with which the Texas law-educated attorneys I interacted with practiced law. Academically, my education at UT Austin allowed me access to law school at every turn.

I want more opportunities to apply a person-centric and collaborative approach to service that empowers people to improve their own quality of life. In the short term, I want to dedicate the summers during law school entirely to public service internships in places like the Department of Justice or in Congressional legal offices. In the long term, I want to prosecute systematic corruption, tackle fraud, and fight for oppressed communities as a federal prosecutor or even an attorney general. Like the disabled veteran I met, so many disadvantaged individuals are forgotten and left to fend for themselves against the systemic oppression and indifference. As a lawyer, I hope to partner with victims of indifference and oppression, like the people of Ferguson, Missouri and Flint, Michigan so to empower them to improve their quality of life through the legal process.

After graduation I plan to attend law school. All of my strengths will play a role in helping me reach this goal. Admittance into law school is highly competitive so I have been working to build up my resume and transcript so that I stand out from other applicants as a more suitable choice.
