n the political and intellectual arena remains keen. I consider myself a principled and thoughtful advocate of progressive politics and, to the extent that time allows, I expect to be an active member of groups with similar political interests.
After graduating from [school] I worked as an engineer for General Electric Aircraft Engines for two and a half years. During this time,I completed a rigorous nine month in-house engineering curricu-lum (a joint program with Boston University) earning A's in both semesters. While at GE, I organized a voter registration drive that allowed 425 employees to register without having to leave work. This experience allowed me to work with senior executives of the Company and the Union while gaining an appreciation for the obstacles involved in getting both parties to work together, even for neutral goals.
I left GE because I was dissatisfied with the opportunity for career growth and a feeling that my efforts and those of my peers were neither recognized nor rewarded appropriately. My interest in social issues prompted me to explore a career in law.
Rather than apply directly to law school I obtained a job as a paralegal with a small corporate litigation firm in Manhattan. I wanted to experience law from the inside and the firm needed a turbine expert to act as a technical consultant during discovery, depositions, and arbitration.I was immediately given the duties normally associated with a first or second year associate at a large firm. I was responsible for conducting discovery, writing chronologies from the documents, writing lines of questioning for, and second-chairing at depositions. Additionally, my engineering background allowed me to facilitate communication between our client (an engineering company) and the firm. My experiences at the firm have convinced me that I have the ability to work successfully a lawyer.I firmly believe my experiences in law, engineering, civic activity, and political activism will allow me to be a creative and contributing member of the intellectual life at [school]. Thank you for your consideration.
五、叙述法
文章里写进一段生活经历或故事是吸引和保持读者兴趣的一个普通而又有效的方法。如果你想使自己的文章集中围绕生活中的某一个事件,这也是一个好的途径。
把叙述法用于个人的声明文章的写作最通常的方法是以讲故事开始你的文章,然后进入故事讲述者的角色提出要点和得出结论。叙事内容可以跨越一生也可以是一段。不必完全象好莱坞演技风格那样才能抓住兴趣。只要叙述得好,即使最简短最简单的事件也可能有意义。使得所写的文章都有效的方法就是运用细节,描写,而且要有高潮。
