Your story is good...

Your sentence structure, grammar and spelling are not. Some glaring things are the very first sentence. Did you do the minimal spell check? Why capitalize "panic disorder" one place and not in others?

I like most of it--not fond of the part about Sam's Club. I would rather read about how overcoming and dealing with your panic disorder has made you more ready for law school, instead of a small blurb about a job at Sam's Club.

Axe the sam's club stuff, it's not as compelling as some of the other stuff you've mentioned. My edits are in bold.
