 We have endless choices in the process of becoming lawyers. It is a true privilege. By making conscious efforts to feel confident in our choices regardless of the behavior of others, we can dedicate ourselves to the imagination test. These efforts will help us avoid waking up one day in what Tharaud called the “what-is-life-really-about?” stupor. Lawyerland at 126. Understanding who we want to be has no simple formula, but learning how to actively reconfigure our personality states, rather than passively allowing their distortion, is a good start.

I don't think using phrases and sentences verbatim from my comments on the last draft is a good revision strategy for demonstrating change away from the conformist impulse.

Refocusing the draft certainly helped. More clarity in the presentation of your ideas shows where the analysis can be made stronger. Writing about change means showing both that it occurs and giving insight into how it happens. What has happened to your sense that you need to join clubs and run for things? Can you devote your second year to making a plan for your practice and securing the knowledges, skills, and networks that will require, free of the need for "extracurricular" activities that don't serve your educational needs? If not, what is in the way of that change?

 
You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
