Sounds totally acceptable to me, but like any subject, presentation is key. Be careful to avoid sentimentality or a pity party, for example.

the topic seems fine. to really answer your question about it being to much it really depends on how you present it (like the above poster stated).

Unless the focus of your PS is poking fun at your sibling's mental handicap, I don't see why this topic would be too much, or inappropriate.

nice attempt but we wont know much until you've written it all out. a sentence or two really doesnt capture the feeling.

obviously but as for now you do have confirmation, at least a little comfort, that the topic is okay as long as you play it right.

I would rather write 10 separate and distinct personal statements than take the LSAT again. In fact, I'd rather jam sharpened bamboo under my fingernails than take the LSAT again.

I might even watch a Sandra Bullock film rather than take the LSAT again.

I suggest you warm those cold feet fast. I've heard dark whispers that you may have to write on occasion once you get into law school.
