Well, the idea of your essay is good, but there are a lot of grammatical errors. "the latest technology while I could hardly keep up with the essential things that could keep me alive.".... I think it would be wise to either reword this, or to omit it. Also, I've told this to someone else. If you are in the top ten percent, you will get in, no matter how crummy your gpa is. If you are not in the top ten percent, and you are applying to get in as a freshman straight out of high school- most states will permit you to get in probationally. Now, If you are a hs graduate, and would like to enter into a university as a freshman, without going in probationally, I recommend getting a job during the fall- and applying for the Spring semester as a first year student, and not a transfer student. Transfer students are harder to get into universities, but they will likely accept you as a first year student during their Spring semester, because the competition is not there (Most HS students apply for the Fall session). Anyways, as for the essay, no matter how crappy or good it is, usually the admissions don't even look at it, unless you ask for an interview. In this case, it may hurt you if your interview sucks. I know a Law student that applied for to U T Lawschool, with a LSAT of 170 something, and a GPA of 3.8 in Business MIS, and he got rejected, because he did such a crappy job at the interview. If you are at least in the top 10 percent, just submit your essay as is, and it won't make a difference to your admission. You'll get in.
