LSAT

Law School Admissions Test- To be among the best, the elite of the elite, you have to score the best. Perfection is mandatory on this examination that is supposed to test your logical and analytical thinking. As imperative as it is to score the highest, I’m not looking for a perfect score. I’m looking to score just above average. Unfortunately, my undergraduate GPA is atrocious at best and law schools wouldn’t look at me twice. The only option I have to make them look is to score really, really high on the LSATs. I will be one of tens of thousands applying for about one hundred or so positions for the Fall 2010 entering class. My pursuit is no small feat but it is definitely not an impossible feat. With my relentless spirit, I know I can do it. Despite the immense task that lies ahead of me, I think the most arduous battle I’ll be fighting is with my self-defeating self. Yes, with myself. Fighting the negative demon that lies within me is by far the greatest challenge I will ever face. It is this specific demon that comes out in the most inopportune times. It wants me to be complacent. It wants me to obey and fully succumb to it. I struggle daily to keep it at bay. Unfortunately, not every day is a good day and it has the best of me. For now I shall take baby steps. I feel as if I take smaller steps the demon won’t notice much movement. It will continue to believe that I am in full cooperation of its commands. Slowly, very slowly, I will come out from under its brutal, forceful grip. Those sharpened talons can’t hold me forever.
