So hang in there it will be done and if you need help feel free to ask me i dont mind reading over personal satements! :) good luck!Sherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995518002658812492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573824672201299441.post-13322506008561909132008-07-15T16:21:00.000-07:002008-07-15T16:21:00.000-07:00I wouldn't know because I'm not achieving greatnes...I wouldn't know because I'm not achieving greatness like you and Jenn and everyone else, but I always favored free writes. You write everything you know you want to express, then look over it all and it'll somehow come together. You'll write a bomb personal statement Mari, just continue to believe in yourself because I know you deserve it!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the prayers love!

UGH..the application process sucks (esp since this will be my second year doing it!) i think its more emotionally draining than mentally...good luck with writing. you definitely have the heart to become a lawyer and i think that will take further than you think :)jenn-jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042309455711083542noreply@blogger.com
