<p>For my law school/graduate school admissions essay, I’m planning on discussing why I want a career involved with human rights. </p>
<p>I want to say how my father escaped from this repressive country after his family was repeatedly persecuted. He didn’t swim to this country obviously but to the closest one with more human rights.</p>
<p>But the things is, he swam away at sea. I won’t say which country but it’s currently infamous for being non-democratic but I will tell the school which country though.</p>
<p>Is that hard to believe? I looked it up and it was hard to find other stories but I finally found some after a few minutes of searching (I had to be pretty specific). Like my mom said, most people failed by dying or giving up and turning back. I believed her, but then sharks came up. However in one of the stories, the man said he didn’t believe his dad either until he met the friend who gave up…he was missing most of his lower left leg.</p>
<p>I feel that this story is a hit and miss, should I even try? I can’t think of anything more interesting. My grades are above average but I’m attending a school with a 33% graduation rate. Plus my ethnic group is pretty prevalent in top tier schools. So I don’t have a more interesting story concerning my family.</p>
