I think this is a very good PS. very engaging. I would've liked more information about how you grew from this. A lot is on your mother but maybe it takes away from the focus on your development. Also I think the part about working 20 hours a week and helping your dad would flow better in the previous paragraph. I think you're a good writer and it shows but sometimes it caused some confusion. I had to read the lastsentence twice to understand it because it was a little convoluted. I think overall very good just make sure it flows well when you read it out loud.
Hope that helps!

Very strong PS. Very engaging & heartfelt.
A couple of minor corrections: I think that it should be "whom I met ", not "who" in reference to your boyfriend.
Also, since there was no indication of a "passion" for law, try "in pursuit of my legal studies".

Ah, I can never remember the who/whom thing, thank you! I like your end better too; I had wanted to mention law in there somewhere, but it didn't really fit so I tacked it on at the end. Thanks!
