3. I'm talking about the sum total of your original post. Read it a couple of times,
couldn't understand what you were trying to say.

4. Bernie mentioned writing as a critical factor. He praised her ...
... and thanked her teachers.

5. Being a graduate of law school, I agree with Bernie.
I honestly wonder how I got in because frankly, my writing sucked and compromised my grades because I couldn't write a cogent paragraph, or a sentence for that matter. No one understood what I was trying to say.

I took 3 critical writing courses in law school in order to finally learn how to organize my thoughts and use writing as my most powerful asset. Brains mean nothing without the ability to communicate.
