I'm currently in year 13 and am going to be applying to Cambridge to study Philosophy next year. I've just done a second draft of my personal statement and really need some advice on what I can do to improve it. I know it isn't very good but i just have no idea how to improve it. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Think of the personal statement as a love letter to your subject - why do you want to study it? What have you found interesting so far? What are you interested in learning more about? Why can't you stop thinking about Philosophy? Aim to have at least 2/3rds (if not 85%) academically based about your wider (related) reading and your interests.
