I think the draft would be improved by a clear focus on its subject. But I'm not sure on three readings what the subject is. I'm pretty sure you don't mean to use 1,000 words to explain why it's okay not to be sure whether you want to be a public defender. Yet more words seem to be about that than anything else. I don't think the subject is the high reported level of anxiety when asked to imagine your life ten years out. That level of anxiety and sense of constraint from being asked to imagine one thing, a temporary mental commitment, is relatively high and is worthy of careful examination, but you don't examine it. Actual discussion of how to build your law school program if you might (but also might not) want to be a pubic defender is absent, though it would be valuable and natural to consider in this context. You have several good choices, but you should pick one, anxiety notwithstanding.
