Hi, I am currently working on finishing my personal statement and submitting my apps. I really want to hear what the best personal statements are as I am now regretting my choice. A little background is that I grew up homeschooled, went on to do speech and debate, mock trial, and tons of different things. I grew up working on a vegetable farm LOL. I did mock trial in college and now work at a law firm and moved from intern to legal secretary to paralegal in a few months. I am from a mixed hispanic household. I graduated a year early from college. I have a 3.9 GPA but only a 152 LSAT score. The firm I work for is an estate planning and probate firm. My degree was in criminal justice and legal studies. I have always been a very hard worker but I feel like that's the norm for law students. My first idea that I scrapped was around my name.

Because I have a low LSAT I'm very fearful this will not be enough for me to be accepted. No one in my family has ever gone into law so I am kinda at a loss for what to do.

my first idea that I scrapped was was around my name which boils down to; growing up with a name that was constantly mispronounced taught me the importance of having a voice and standing up for myself. I want to become an attorney because I believe everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and advocated for, just as I learned to advocate for myself.
