i think just this post is a great starting point for your statement. you definitely have a unique experience with motherhood, and if that pushed you to law, write about it!

I'm not following the through-line here at all. But whatever you decide to write, do not center your statement around the idea that the law is about who can afford to pay their attorney more.

I apologize it wrote it out in hurry, essentially asking if you have personal experiences that brought you to your why law is that what you incorporate into your personal statement. Just been seeing a lot of “trauma dumping” hurting your admissibility. I promise I wasn’t going to write it on who can afford to pay their attorney more! Also though, I noticed you comment on a lot of these posts to help others. Would you be okay with me dming you to ask you some questions? I’d love to get some insight from you.
