I did proof-reading and here is my revised version. I changed the structure. Hope it won't bring too much trouble to you.
This time I tried my best...and waiting for your advice.
Thanks in advance.
Nothing is comparable to enjoying the satisfied smile on people’s face after they receive help. It is this smile that attracts me to pursue a legal profession.
Since high school, books and TV programs about practicing law have interested me profoundly. Studying law at university brought me to a new world of jurisprudence. Having taken basic legal courses like Civil Law, Criminal Law, International Private Law, Contract Law and so on, my quest for knowledge has only intensified. Thus, I spent most nights at library reading books like Social Contract by Rousseau, of Crimes and Punishments by Cesare Beccaria, A Theory of Justice by John Rawls, etc. Certainly, due to my diligence and intelligence, I topped my class in many courses and ended up with a GPA of 3.5/4.0.
Since basic legal knowledge is never enough for a prospective lawyer, I participated in extracurricular activities to put what I learnt into practice. I have been a member of our college’s legal advisory team for three years, which benefits me a lot in resolving real legal issues. During my internship at HuaLi Law Firm, I was appointed several important tasks like drafting legal documents, registered cases due to my excellent writing skill and strong sense of responsibility.
Besides, I am an active participant of various campus activities such as the debate for freshman, the Lilv Cup moot court, the cuisine competition, etc. Although I failed in some contests, I still believe that the process of experiencing and learning is always more important than the results. By taking these activities, my confidence was improved and my communication skill was advanced.
As the editor in chief of a biweekly campus magazine, I introduced a new column which became popular among students. Moreover, our team under my direction accomplished the publicity work of the University Cuisine Festival. Also, as the project manager of SIFE, a global student organization, I planned and managed a four-day embroidery exhibition at Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre.
Outside pure academics and leadership roles, I am keen on volunteer work. In my freshman year, I tutored a teenage girl in math for free. When she made significant progress in her examination, the smile she worn touched me deeply. I saw the same smile on the faces of the special athletes when I helped them in Special Olympics and the migrant workers’ children when I made toys to realize their dreams. I always have faith that individual value will be proved and improved by offering help to those in need.
Moreover, after exposure to plenty of transnational business disputes, I resolved to specialize in international commercial law to help those companies out of troubles. Thus, pursuing a LL.M degree in an overseas university becomes indispensable for me. However, the expense is too high for an ordinary Chinese family like mine. Therefore, this scholarship will help me achieve my dream.
