Personal Statement 6

You may wonder why me, the odds of me getting in is low, considerably lower, than even people with slightly lower grades, definitely lower than those with slightly higher grades, why me, I wonder this as well. I had an epiphany of sorts, maybe I don't have the best grades in the world, maybe I don't have the best lsat score in the world, but I have dedicated myself to do well, and i have no interest in getting a job and making money, I realize this is an ideal, but I desperately want to do something good with my life, something that makes marked changes, that you can see on peoples faces, I realized when I was in college that while making more is nice, a person can live on very little, people all over the world live on a very small percentage of what I lived on, and still, now that I make more I spend it all much more quickly than I ever did when my income was restricted. I don't just want a whole bunch of money, although I could probably make a whole bunch with a law degree that's just not what I'm in it for. And in the end I will get in, not because of my grades, or my standardized test scores, but because of my determination, dedication, and the need to serve a cause greater than myself.
