hey guys. im writing my personal statement and completed my draft.
however, one thing im worried about is the fact that my ps is reading more like "i had these weaknesses--> i reflected on them --> i had a realization and my mindset changed." im afraid that there is a general "lack of action" theme.
im esp concerned about this because of my background (american citizen graduating w a foreign law degree + community college credits) and i feel there is more expected from me. additionally, i also wrote about really small achievements (although that led to my mindset changing). i did show some of my legal thinking though.
do you guys think its ok to have a little bit more of a philosophical personal statement?

I have heard that schools want to see what you did to overcome any adversity. Without really knowing anything, I think it might be interesting for you to reflect on your previous law career, any struggles or realizations that came with that whether it be a tough case or client or something, what you did to overcome that in the moment, and then looking forward to US law school and being a US attorney and how that situation and realizations will help you in the future.
