bump...anybody? i'll return the favor just PM me your statement

"I was lucky: growing."

You can use a semi-colon, but a period and new sentence is equally appropriate. A trival point, sorry I do not have anything more substantive to say.

More usefully, try to condense your initial two paragraphs, focussing on it being a catalyst which has motivated your passion for public interest law.

Additionally, your paragraph beginning "I was lucky" shifts topics a few times - your parents influence, your interest in law and your concern for helping people. Try to break these topics up or discuss something which unites them. Perhaps begin by discussing Andrew, then branch to this pagraph, contrasting your parents and upbringing with Andre's, and how this motivates your desire to help others. I personally would omit my interest in public sector law in this paragraph, instead using a new paragraph and event to bridge my concern for helping other's to my legal passion, but that's me.

Good luck man. I hope that helps.
