I am Moises, a father of 3. I've worked in insurance for 10+ yrs. In 2014 relocated to Brazil to care for my ill father (with cancer; well now). While here I attended law school. I'll be returning to the US in 2017 where I will pursue a JD and intend to practice law in my home state, CA.
My main worries with my applications are the LSAT since I've attended a foreign school which does not report an Undergrad GPA, and my personal statement.
As for my personal statement, I have though of writing about having to give up everything I had constructed to go overseas and help my father, and using that adverse time to reinvent myself, heading back to the US to pursue my long life dream career of becoming and attorney.
1) I am Moises Guedes, father of 3, worked in the insurance industry for 10+ years, moved to Brazil a few years back to care for my father, while here went to school and will be earning my Law degree from here next June. I am moving back home to SoCal in July 2017 and intend to start pursuing my JD in CA next year.
2) My personal statement is in fact my biggest worry about my application
3) I am having a hard time coming up with ideas for my personal statement but so far was thinking of using my experience of moving overseas to care for my father and taking advantage of that situation to head back to school and pursue my life long objetive of becoming an attorney.
4) I did attend the last webinar but unfortunately you did not get to me, hoping for this time around, could most certainly use the guidance.
