Lessons on trust

Line: 19 to 18
 I saw what those in power believe is justice and I do not want any part of it. To them “justice” is about quelling the discourse that makes them critically analyze their actions and policy. Justice for them is about crushing dissent and making clear there is a hierarchy about who matters even though they claim we are all equal and valued members of the community. This all falls in line with the historical arch of predominantly white institutions in America but I wanted to believe we have come farther than that. The biggest lesson I learned from 1L is that to be a great lawyer you need people you can trust and that is not done easily. There are many people that will pretend to be for you and care about you until a situation of self-preservation comes up and they will gladly leave you high and dry. I guess it is “human nature” and a natural response but as leaders and stewards there needs to be a higher level of accountability and the reversion to instinctive behavior should be avoided at all costs.I want to do my part in bringing healing and understanding and build back the trust that was lost. The only way to move forward and to be a good lawyer is to always act in good faith and hold honesty in the highest regard. I cannot accomplish my goals for the rest of law school and my legal career on my own. I have no choice but to trust people around me which means that I need to pour into my relationships with those that are in my corner and this year has shown me who they are.

The key to improvement is tighter organization. There's no outline in the draft: I think you wrote it responsively, rather than by plotting it out. That was good to help you loosen the writing and take your own tone, but it could use more control.
