< | | | | -- By MinahSo - 25 Apr 2018 | | | The greatest gift of my law school experience has been the feeling that I can slow down in order to read the signs, rather than letting them pass by in a flash of incoherent color. Learning from people with giant personalities who have faith in themselves, whether they be fictional or moving in real time in front of me, has been elemental in making the end goal feel tangible. Others I’ve observed who can’t find strength purely in themselves hold onto their principles. Neither group cares whether people are watching or agree with the way they represent themselves—they simply do according to principle.
My to-do list overflows with what I must do to build that principle, far removed from how others may evaluate it. I hope to spread myself out in many directions, going places just to observe and meeting people just to listen. The focus is dual—constant vigilance directed at myself, addressing each nick as it scratches the surface, while allowing the space and time to take notice of the currents pushing others into places they don’t want to be. In this way, I might be able to ensure future Daisy Mae’s get to wear what they want to wear and do what they want to do for all the right reasons.

The last sentences suggest that you do know what sort of lawyer
you want to be, although you might not be ready to announce it to
yourself yet. If you are, even a little, whether it's "right" or
not, but you would like to leave a message to your selves that you
will be able to read here five years from now, then you can improve
this draft with one more sentence.
Otherwise, I'm not sure it can be improved. It could be slowed down
to be read more clearly, in some spots, but I don't think that's an
improvement: you know how to slow time here very fully when you want
to. Where you don't, my intuition is that you shouldn't.
What you do have here is the voice that is utterly your own. What
you don't have here is all of what you want to say with it. But by
saying what you have said, you have begun finding the rest.
