It's kind of hard to tell without reading it but it might work if you also say why you would be good law school candidate and/or how that influenced your views of law.
Becareful because you might alienate some of the readers

It sounds great for if you are applying for Obama's Official Fan Organization but you hardly talk about your self. What I can see from it is that is going to turn something like "Obama was very inspirational to me". Tell us more about yourself.
