Solid PS even though a bit long. The final sentence, however, is weak & in need of revision. CONSIDER: "...will lead to a career that will utilize all of my prior experience as a crisis counselor as well as my future
Training as an Attorney."
Also, try to avoid ending sentences with a preposition.

Thank you so much

What do you think of: "I feel that the combination of my drive to advocate for underprivileged populations and my fascination with understanding our system of laws and how it functions will lead me to have a fulfilling and successful legal career." ?

Your alternate ending is fine, although "should" may be a better choice than "will" since you have not yet practiced law.
