First some context.

My top school is the law school associated with the college I went for Undergrad.

My college is also in my hometown, and I have extremely close ties to the college (I was going to football games, baseball games, and other events they've had before I could walk).

I graduated in 2022 and now live on the other side of the country working for a nonprofit.

Should my Personal Statement be how I want to go home, which is true, study law there, and all of that. Or. Focus not on my desire to go back but rather my experiences post-grad?

Thank you all!!

    You're right that definitely is a "Why X"! Thank you!

    This sounds much more like a "WhyX?" essay than a personal statement. Perhaps, assuming they allow for a WhyX essay, you could use this reasoning for that purpose. That'll free up space for you to show another side of yourself through your PS.
