<p>Suggest you begin your statement using the sentences of your second paragraph …</p>
<p>“I am the youngest daughter from a Taiwanese family, and it is safe to say I live a very comfortable lifestyle. I live in the basic upper middle class, suburban home with the classic white picket fence like in the movies. I have a mother, a father, and a sister which is the outline of the average American family household. They all drive practical cars, and do not feel the need to spend excess money for extravagant materials. I could not honestly say I faced a bumpy road to get where I am. However, it is true we are shaped by our environment because having such a comfortable life has opened my eyes to life in a different perspective.” </p>
<p>Discuss how these “different perspectives” have changed your world view and how you’ve incorporated these new perspectives in your life’s actions and have grown from them as a result. Stay away from generalities because they say nothing about you. Support your statements with specific examples. For example, I’m not clear how studying “pre-law” will help you help others. You have a lot of good thoughts and idealistic statements. Personalize these statements.</p>
