\nB.\u00a0 The importance of this quote to me
\nC.\u00a0 Humility, man\u2019s calling to fight idleness, human experience (what one has accomplished and experienced)
\nD.\u00a0 Motivation to become an \u201caccomplished one\u201d, able to handle the challenges that life throws at my way and be able to help as many as I can as a lawyer.<\/p>\n
\nA.\u00a0 I believe that being \u201caccomplished\u201d is not necessarily measured by one\u2019s achievements.
\nB.\u00a0 More than one\u2019s achievements, being \u201caccomplished\u201d also has to do with one\u2019s ability to overcome obstacles, seize opportunity, and act or react in an appropriate manner.<\/p>\n
\nA.\u00a0 The most difficult thing for me to overcome was the death of my mother caused by cancer when I was 19, as she was my biggest inspiration.
\nB.\u00a0 Another difficult time that I had to deal with was aiding people during the recent disasters in South America.
\nC.\u00a0 Losing my best friend to an unfortunate incident and breaking my back in a fight
\nD.\u00a0 Growing up with a non-verbal learning disability
\nE.\u00a0 My experiences as Director of Fundraising for St. Jude Children Research Hospital
\nF.\u00a0 A new obstacle to overcome in law school<\/p>\n
\nA.\u00a0 As an idealist, I believe that being a lawyer is one of the most active roles toward helping society achieve a state of justice and goodness.
\nB.\u00a0 I believe that this school has the best law school system to help me achieve my aspiration of becoming a lawyer.
\nC.\u00a0 It is through my experiences growing up that I have learned to be resilient, that I have forged my own human experience, and reached my own achievements along my journey toward becoming an \u201caccomplished\u201d person, and it is through my position as a lawyer that I seek to achieve my highest levels of accomplishment as a human being.<\/p>\n
\n–\u00a0 Plato<\/p>\n
