That leads to yet another question. What else do I write? I've seen numerous posts explaining the PHS and what it needs to accomplish, yet, I'm stumped. I thought about mentioning my motivation and my research internship experience. But, I don't think they want to read about what I've done in my internship because that says nothing about me as such and that's the sort of thing to be put in a SoP. I would appreciate any hints or suggestions on how to proceed. Thanks!

Hello, I'm applying for M.S. in Mechanical Engineering(focus-Biomechanical). I wanted to start my PHS by mentioning two people in my life who have faced health issues (1st person-osteoarthritis, 2nd person- disabled) and stating that watching their struggles motivated me to pursue this area of study. I've used up nearly 150 words to describe their condition and their struggles. However, a PHS is supposed to talk about the person applying. So, I was wondering if this will be considered as a waste of space. It would be great to hear an outside opinion. Thanks!
