PS, Diversity Statement, Addendum HELP!!!!!

Let me tell you about me
I am a 32 yr old full time firefighter, full time student and a father of three
I left school in 2000 with 1.4ish GPA and a transcript full of NW (meaning I just didn't go to class never officially withdrew). I can say I left because I had my first child and found a career I loved and while that may be true I did so poorly grade wise because I honestly just didn't give a shit about college.
I have worked the last 6 yrs as a firefighter and 6 or so before that as an Paramedic
While in my last semester in 2000 my oldest son was born. I think it is worth mentioning that he is Autistic. Anyway over the last 12 yrs I have been involved in my church, Boy Scouts youth sports and Ive been an elected member of the Executive board of my labor union.
Last semester I decided to return to school finish my BS (in interdisciplinary health studies I was an econ major in 2000 and hated it)anyway last semester I took 3 classes and received 2 A's and a C this semester 5 classes all A's so far and honestly as an adult student I can be pretty sure that it will be all A's with a B or 2 for the rest of my time in Undergrad ( I say this because I know the effort Im willing to put in as a returning student)
What do I need to write besides a PS?
Diversity Statement? older returning student (I don't think this is diversity but not sure) parent of Autistic chill
Addendum? GPA
