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

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.
