Personal Statements and the art of persuasion
So on Nov. 1st law school applications are due, mine is done except for the personal statement. In one or two pages I have to sell myself to some professors and/or law students. I have no idea where to start, my life seems so ordinary, maybe I should lie and dream up some inspiring stories and claim them as my own.....if anyone has any ideas feel free to reply

hey u i am writing my personal statement too! :) and it was hard to write about myself :).And then i thought the things i see as my strength may be my wekaness in others' eyes... anywaz :)waz extremely curious to know what people think of me as me... so i sent out this quickquest to my friends and collegues with the following questions.. did not really expect that somebody would response to my strange idea but then turned out more than 25 people replied me with ..very interesting to read the different comments and their memories/stories about me and see who i am in the world's eyes ,and very helpful for personal statement... so thaz just a suggestion. U can create ur own question and get some helpful ideas from others. and hey inspiration often start from /found in ordinary things, doesnt it? :) So my list of question was like this : 1.How long have you known Lan Anh?Where and when you first met her ? 2.How do you think you are related to Lan Anh? ( ie : work partner, >normal friend, close friend, roommate,advisor ,you-name-it-yourself ,etc) 3.What characters in Lan Anh or what reason that keep you in relations >(mentioned in answer no.2) with Lan Anh? 4. First thing that comes to your mind when it comes to “Lan Anh” ? 5.What are the weakness and strength you see in Lan Anh in one or many of these Personalities : Conduct Concern for othersEmotional stability Maturity Personal Integrity Peer compatibility Realtionships to Adults Self confidence Sence of humourAcademic Academic Potential Academic Achievement Imagination/Creativity Intellectual Curiosity Leadership Ability Effort/Persistence Abilityt to work independently Oral Expression Good luck to you and to me ;):)

Good Luck! I know this comes rather late, but good luck buddy! No one's ordinary, you just gotta find out what makes you extraordinary... It's there, you just gotta find it.
