Essay Prompt
Here at Mattis Law, A.P.C., we believe that good educational systems are best for society when students have an ambition to learn for themselves. In other words, the name of the college or university on your diploma is not nearly as important as how you apply yourself while pursuing a higher education.
As you look forward to the schooling ahead of you, how do you plan to apply yourself in a way that is best for you? What challenges do you foresee, and how do you plan on tackling them? What aspects of your educational or social future are you most looking forward to?
Good Luck to Everyone Who Applies!
