These are the documents needed. The first file is some stuff I jotted down when starting out my personal statement before I got stuck. My resume is there to help figure out how to make everything flow better. If you need anything else from me please let me know.

Personal Statement A year into my undergraduate college year experience, I re-discovered that I did not want to continue on my pre-planned path of becoming a physical therapist. Although I always knew that the hard sciences such as chemistry and physics were not my kind of interests, I was simply focused on this one career option because my dad wanted me to become one. Growing up as the eldest in a home where family was to be your first priority with a younger brother with non-verbal autism was quite difficult. Being the oldest in an Asian household with a sibling with a mental disability meant that the burdens regarding future expectations for education and career fell to me. It did not help that I felt like I could not find a place to fit in at school due to moving to different states because of my parents’ jobs. Due to stress from not being able to achieve my parents’ expectations and disappointment in myself, I soon turned to self-harm involving hair pulling and nail biting. Although, never suicidal, due to my actions I ended up having total hair loss soon after and began to avoid confrontations both within my family and those around me as I slowly became more introverted. Although, my hair hasn’t entirely grown to its previous length, moving Alabama and finding a god church there really helped me break out of my shell and learn how to interact with others once again. Ideas: My experience: Hair loss, 1st born burden, born with partial Trisomy X (Identity?) Why do I want to become a lawyer? => Brother, stability & security for my family and me. Help family/friends (unlike a doctor who cannot). Was always born with a strong sense of justice, although society is pretty corrupt, I want to find a way to discover my own justice pathway. Brother => autistic; want to help give him some security. Field/area of study interest: Health law
