Missing BLACK Woman

[blk_reign]

so would you use your hardships in your personal statement for law school to talk about how you've overcome adversity to rise to where you are standing today?

[ImVinny!]

Well, all I did was mention my mom and dad not graduating high school, but nothing else, I don't really want to get into it with the adcomms thinking I just want to tell a sob story or anything.

how is overcoming a hardship a sob story?

Well, all I did was mention my mom and dad not graduating high school, but nothing else, I don't really want to get into it with the adcomms thinking I just want to tell a sob story or anything.

[ImVinny!]

It would probably be seen as that, I don't think they'd really care, I'm sure they have many people with that, and others that had it worse.

you are a sob story vinny, a tear drops everytime you post ignorant sh*t like below

Well, all I did was mention my mom and dad not graduating high school, but nothing else, I don't really want to get into it with the adcomms thinking I just want to tell a sob story or anything.

[ImVinny!]

How is that ignorant? It is true!
See, I said it was a sob story, nobody wants to hear about that.

[blk_reign]

they don't care..however you should have the ability to flip your situation and make it work for you....

[ImVinny!]

But that wouldn't be right.

[blk_reign]

explain? how is overcoming adversity not right?

But that wouldn't be right.

[ImVinny!]

Just telling my story doesn't show adversity, I didn't listen to them, so how does that matter? I didn't let it phase me when my mom refused to drive me to school, I just got up the hour earlier in order to take the city bus, and paid my buck when she accused me of stealing hers instead of using it for the fare.
How do I spin any of that to sound good?
