This is probably as good as it gets in terms of personal statements. Clearly & concisely written. Sincere, convincing & informative.
P.S. "relatives'", not "relative's" ?

This is amazing. Have you ever seen the movie "Homeless to Harvard?" It can probably be about you

. No, but really, I liked the last paragraph especially. It helps present you in a way that shows your appreciation for your past experiences and not your disdain. It is a very powerful statement and one I am sure adcomms will love. Good luck!

Doesn't sound quite right to me ... might want to consider rephrasing the last bit of it.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll have to check out Homeless to Harvard, I've never heard of it.

And I think I will try and revise that last sentence, I struggled with it a little bit and it's still not quite right. Thanks!
