I am an accountable, meticulous, and good-natured person extremely dedicated to a career in the legal profession. My particular areas of interest within the law degree include criminal law and business law as they combine my interest for finances and criminology correspondingly.
Having studied mainly business orientated subjects in fourth and fifth year, I look forward to diverging out into more varied fields particularly corporate law, as it allows for the opportunity to deal with large firms, something I find specifically fascinating.
I have spent most of my free time gaining work experience at solicitors which I feel has given me the confidence and necessary skills needed to enter the legal profession. It has made me grow as a person and it has made me more eager to succeed.
Scholastically, I have always been a bright individual, hence the reason I knew a degree at Aberdeen University would be the next logical step. The wide ranges of subjects I have chosen have helped me to increase my understanding of the modern world and the society in which i live in. Being born into a mixed background, I have had the chance to speak, read and write Urdu fluently which has largely improved my communication skills and the way I cooperate with others.
I feel I will be a credible candidate at Aberdeen University because I am unique. I am intelligent and one hundred percent committed, I want to go to university at the age of 16 because I can, and I don't like wasting time. If I can go to university now then that means I will graduate quicker. This is the dream degree I feel will lead me to the success of my life.
I have been lucky enough to study abroad for 18 months at the CBSS School in Sialkot, Pakistan. This wonderful opportunity allowed me to become more culturally aware and open minded. It has taught me so much about life and choices, it has made me more resolute after working alongside people who adore and do not take their education for granted. During my study I had to prepare for a final exam for subjects in Arabic and Urdu each of which required an essay and close reading to be attempted. Due to my commitment and passion - I put hard work into everything I do - I was given 1st prize out of the whole of 6th year students in Sialkot. This to me was an incredible accomplishment, having never had contact with this world before, I have shown I can accelerate and complete a challenge.
I really want to attend Aberdeen University because of it's reputation. I feel that it is the best law in Scotland. I am confident that I will do better than the entry requirements for this subject, because I am going to push myself to get to this university. I don't want to be the one on job seekers allowance, or be the one working in a corner shop for the rest of my life. I want to be someone who can create a better place in today's society. I want to be someone who can bring justice to the court. I have a strong desire to be a lawyer. I will work extremely hard to get my title, I will never give up.
My plans for the future are to get an undergraduate degree in law. Then as a postgraduate study it further. Hopefully then I will get a job at legal firm. I will work my way from the bottom right up to the top and then will develop my own law firm. I am so driven and focussed I cannot wait to start the course, getting into an incredible university like Aberdeen - it's an amazing opportunity which I will highly value and not take for granted- it will boost my skills required to fulfil my dream.
I am so passionate and hungry for success, I will bring my knowledge of the legal sector gained from working alongside professional solicitors to sail through the course. I am confident, energetic and ready to go. This opportunity will allow me to pursue a career in law and I don't want anyone to be a part of it other than Aberdeen University- the most inspiring and motivating university I look up to and one day hope to study in.

You need a better attention grabber. The one you have is boring.
A personal statement usually includes the following. You need a good attention grabber. In general you want your essay to follow this order:
Paragraph 1-2 attention grabber. Think of an experience in your life that really showcases who you are. Be detailed. Discuss something signifcant in your life. It could be anything. Or discuss why you want to be in your profession or what story inspired you to study what you are studying.
Paragraph 3-4. Highlight your academics: GPA, AP and honors classes. What skills you learned in class that will help in succeeding in college. Awards and honors that you have received. Sports or clubs that you are in.
Paragraph 5. Jobs that you have had that relate to your major? Any other things about yourself that you want to include
Paragraph 6: Conclusion
