Good luck during the application process! where are you thinking of applying to? I started the essay with a first person account of what it feels like to go through an episode of stuttering (at least from my point of view). I used a situation that I feel many of us have been through, saying "here" during elementary school role call. I wanted to shed light onto something that seems so rudimentary for the overwhelming majority of folks, but something that triggers panic attacks and a daily struggle for people like us. I do not paint my stutter in a flattering light for the first 25% of my essay. hell, I even refer to it as the "bane of my existence" in the topic sentence of my 2nd paragraph. the turning point for this tone however is described when i again take the essay down memory lane to when I was crushed by a truck at 10. I credit my experiences with stuttering as one of the primary reasons why i was able to bounce back mentally from such a traumatic experience. the injuries from the accident left me never being able to play sports comfortably ever again. for a stupidly active kid, this was world ending. Stuttering had taught me to be creative and adaptive with how i interacted with the world around me. everyone else could use their words to convey meaning, but I (we) lacked that luxury. in a really simplified way, stuttering showed me that there is always an alternative route to achieve something. I used this mentality and transitioned from sports into music. without having a stutter, i genuinely believe that I would not have transitioned in the same way. as others have mentioned in their comments, I have also gained some personal skills that I don't think would have developed to the same degree under "normal" circumstances. my stutter has taught me to be creative, adaptive, perceptive and empathetic. I then tie the essay up at the end with a quick sentence about how i intend to use things skills in the legal world. I hope you can take some inspiration from this!
