I Am Ready for Law School :: Law College Admissions Essays
I Am Ready for Law School   I began delirious early Thursday morning. My team and I were halfway finished with what our instructors dubbed The gigantic Paddle, and I could feel my sanity slowly slipping away. A crew of severe sleep deprivation and extreme physical exercise quite a little do that to you. I had not had more than three hours of sleep since Hellweek had begun on Sunday afternoon. As I looked around me, I contemplated the extent of my delirium. I was reasonably certain that the Statue of Liberty does not belong in San Diego, and I doubted that the tigers I could see racing along the river shore were real. My ears picked up the unspoilt of our boats leader having a heated argument with Jenkins, but Jenkins had quit the team two weeks ago.   Looking around me, I felt reassured eyesight the confused expressions on my teammates faces. Even though I was stuck in a tiny inflatable boat with six potential lunatics, I at least knew that I was not the only one bein g stirred by the exercise. Hell week. I had been finished some incarnation of it during to each one year of my life, ever since peewee football. But no previous blaze could compare to the punishment that the United States Navy dishes out during Basic submersed Demolition/SEAL Training (BUD/S). Hell week marks the sixth week of BUD/S, and is a six-day celebration of misery designed to go through weak candidates. Only the strong can survive it.   This years week of gouge was heightened by an untimely cold spell more than two thirds of our sea captain class had already quit. Running on soft sand beaches firearm wearing combat boots, getting a facemask full of salt peeing while lugging twin steel scuba tanks on your back, being sopping wet and covered with sand... these are enough to make most good deal question their desire to finish the program. But it was the cold that claimed the most victims. We shivered through the nights and well into the mornings, the chill of the air seeping into our very bones. Visions of hot meals and firm beds haunted us we knew that ending the suffering and the cold was as cushy as quitting the program. And quitting was so very east. Simply stand in confront of your classmates and ring a silver ships bell three times...
