Undergraduate / Language fascinates me most -Law personal statement / HongKong Universities [2]
I like to ponder; even trivial things in daily life make me curious. Among them the use of language fascinates me most - I enjoy figuring out the best way to present my thoughts to others. This leads to my interest in debate. From the experience I realized that only through the use of rational thinking and presenting them clearly could my opponents be convinced.
In my childhood the character Atticus Finch in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" inspired me to undertake law profession. As a lawyer, he showed how the power of firm reasoning and language can fight off prejudices. But becoming a barrister is not my goal; I aspire to become a prosecutor then ultimately a judge. There is a strong sense of justice in me, I believe that the judiciary should not possess any preconceived notions on defendants and keenly hope that I could be a member of the judiciary to maintain law and order.
Also, attending several court hearings has furthered my understanding of the legal system, because the intricate but indispensable procedures followed in a lawsuit inform me of the judiciary's rigorousness, making me eager to know more about law.
I am truthfully passionate about studying law; my dedication in language communication skills and the ability to think logically would certainly be leveraged. The program would provide me with the essentials to undertake career in law. I hope I could get a chance to exert my strengths and explore the program in greater depth.
I am applying hong kong universities, and they don't want long personal statement. So I am asking if there are sentences in my writing that could be reduced to a more concise manner. Also do you think I am using to many "I"s in my statement, if yes, how can I reduce them but keep the meaning the same?
