My thoughts as a fellow 0L who has gotten into a few T14s: If you are rejected by those schools, it will not be because of your PS. It's not always perfect writing (from my subjective style preferences, at least), but I think that actually adds to the essay given the subject matter.

And so you don't fret about the above statement, and to give you an idea of how nitpicky I'm being, here's an example of something I would change if this was my writing: "How was I going to succeed in a field..." to "How could I succeed in a field..."

Yeah, there might be some other people who will give more substantive advice, but I personally think you're fine.
