I like it a lot. It speaks about you, why you are unique, and how you have overcome struggles in your life and how that has caused you to grow. A bit of advice:

- Take out the bit about winning battles against your brother, and the other battles for that matter. I would start with: I have won many battles, but the most important battle in my life...

- I want to advocate for those who cannot do so for themselves

If you are going to mention the law school, make it sound more sincere than a simple "shout-out" to get the schools name in.
