Running on Empty

My teeth are clean but my car's on E. The turkeys have been bought but I have to sell an article of clothing to see a movie. I have debt, you have debt we all have tons and tons of debt. In fact I haven't even bought a house yet but the debt I've accumulated adds up to that of a mortgage on a small house.

At the end of the day I'm a plain Jane. I look no better than the girl sitting next you. I have the same problems as everyone else in this world. I have ambition that is no stronger than 50% of those around me. I work, sleep, laugh, play, cry, get angry, go to the doctor, talk to other people, buy groceries just like everyone else. I am just me and I could be no different than the thousands and thousands of faces you see in your given lifetime. I am average.

What can I bring to a law school that others cannot?? So after going through the painful process of realizing how unextraordinary I am I now have to tell you how I'm so awesomely unique. Fine. My dad was in the military and my mother was raised by a farmer and from that odd combination I received an incredible work ethic. I take my job tasks seriously and put the maximum amount of effort into everything I do that will produce the greatest results. I am meticulous down to the last detail and tend to catch mistakes that other people that have looked at the same problem two or three times have not caught. In short, I'm also a perfectionist. I will stay until the project is done and it is done well. I'm also an extrovert. I'm not afraid to speak my opinion and since I rarely like to look like an idiot when I am doing this, I will know how to speak my mind in an intelligent and informed manner. I like to meet and work with other people because even when I'm challenging the opinions of others or having a discussion I do allow myself to be open to learning from what other people think and how they think. Plus, I know how to cook so during late night study sessions we will have ample amounts of refreshment.
