This is waaaaaay too general. You never explain what you mean by "help people." It sounds immature and unfocused. Also, please remove "really" in the last sentence; too informal. This seems to be the flow you describe: "feel bad -> go visit family who have it worse -> realize "helping people" is good -> feel bad -> go visit family who have it worse -> realize "helping people" is good -> realize going to law school is good for "helping people." Sorry to be harsh, but this does not deliver the level of introspection that a personal statement should, nor does it demonstrate a mastery of language or rhetoric.
