Re: Looking for criticism for PS
English clearly isn't your first language, so you might think about hiring an editor to help tell your story if that is permitted under law school admissions rules.
I think the interpreter thing might have some potential if you can flesh it out.

Re: Looking for criticism for PS
Agree with bulinus ... definitely should work with somebody on grammar/style. I (or another TLSer) could go through and fix it, but you really need to work closely with somebody to make sure your meaning is being accurately conveyed.
Agree that the translator story has potential. You should get rid of the first paragraph ... it suggests that the essay will be about growing up in military camps, but then military camps are never mentioned again. Also, the piece about scoring high on your college examination should be apparent from your resume. Just start with the translating and focus on that.
Also, the section about coming from a low-income background belongs in a diversity statement. The role model thing can also be cut probably ... muddies the focus of the essay.

Re: Looking for criticism for PS
Thanks a lot! I love the interpreter part as well and I will change my PS focus into that. I am worrying about the editor stuff, however if my grammar and style are that bad, it might be necessary for me to hire one.
