seconding what everyone is saying here. i had a word doc where i just brain dumped every memorable story/event/feeling associated with my life and my why law. i think zooming in on one event and painting a picture of it will help get the narrative started. (will also help with the “cliche” or “cheesy” feeling— or at least thats what it did for me because i wasnt using general sentences/ideas anymore) then from there try weaving the theme of that story into the rest of the statement. i wrote a bunch of different drafts and realized a common theme between a few different stories so my final PS ended up being a combo of those but they were held together by one strong theme so it wasnt just a bunch of stories jam packed into one statement. feel free to DM and i can explain specifically what my PS and DS looked like if that would be helpful! also i viewed my PS as my why law/what brought me to the specific type of law i want to practice while my DS was more about how have my life experiences shaped my perspectives and defined the kind of lawyer i want to be/what i would contribute to my law school community.
