Wow! This is great! I was read the whole thing without getting bored. Thats a positive.

What I would recommend is that you go more in detail as to why X schools is a good fit for you. If youre just going to throw that sentence in there without giving any substantial reason, dont put it in. It would be a lot stronger if you mention a specific program or something else that ties the school to your passion.

Also, give specific instances for these statements: "I’ve advocated for special needs students to receive the services that they deserve, and I’ve represented constituents in order to provide them with appropriate health benefits. I’ve campaigned for racial equality".

Finally, go more into detail about what you would personally bring to the law school. Do you feel that you would bring determination? Do you feel you would bring "real world experiences"? Mention a positive asset of yours that would benefit the school.

Overall, this is a very good statement that does a great job of captivating the reader. Just add some details.

You need to edit out the name of the school, the parent and the child for posting online.
