What I wish I could send:
You’re reading this because I’m not a rock star, plain and simple. Among the countless (well at least a number you don’t necessarily want to count) applications you’ve stumbled on to a person who is fully capable of being a lawyer. I’m not talking about “I read law journals for fun so I’m an excellent candidate…,” or “Ever since I was a kid I fought for justice..,” we all know that shit you’re reading is just that: shit. Bullshit even. I’m fully capable of being a lawyer because I have what it takes to take on an unbelievable amount of responsibility and do it all with little sleep. That pretty much it. I don’t like politics. I actually can’t stand reading. I find the law fascinating, but rather mechanical and because of that aspect, dependable. Something you can depend on is an excellent career path because, lets be honest; the good old blue collar is turning noose shaped and a little tight around the neck.
I’m argumentative when needed and convincing always because I exude a confidence not found in most 23 year olds. Its not a boasting “I know best” sort of confidence. After all, we all know that the empty can rattles the most. No. Mine is that of a simple lack in self doubt. I won’t open my mouth unless I honestly feel what I’m saying is correct, or at least well rehearsed.
I’d end with a quote, but speaking with other peoples words when trying to convince people for acceptance is a rather odd sentiment. I’ll just close with these words:
“accept me into your school or I’m going to have to go to WCC for paralegal training while moonlighting at a fucking video store.”
