Is this compelling enough to write a 'Why CLS' essay?

Hi,
Can I get some feedback as to whether this is a compelling enough reason to write a 'WHY CLS' essay?
Academic Reasons:
Clinics
- Child Advocacy Clinic
- Community Enterprise Clinic
Externship
- Immigration Defense Externship
- Brother grew up with two chronic illnesses that required a lot of hospitalization. The frustrating experience for my immigrant family to get access to quality medical attention throughout my childhood engendered in me a strong desire to learn how to help other families that may be currently struggling with the same issues. Not sure if these clinics and/or externships are the right avenues to pursue this, but am confident CLS has the right ones.
Personal:
-Need to be close to home just in case brother needs medical attention during the 3 years I'm in school. Parents are not fully fluent in English so can help them as well.
-Will be married this summer before going to LS and fiancee's job/family is all located in NYC. If possible, would not like to displace her life for my schooling.
