Will law schools care about what's just a personal compulsion

After taking a hiatus from a large public uni, I’ve returned a semester ago. I decided I wanted to make some changes- for example switch one of my majors even though I’m close to completing the initial one. I did poorly my first couple of semesters, but after returning from my academic withdrawl I’ve been getting all A’s (with some serious family issues resolved). I want to change majors and graduate with honors. To do so, I’d have to take more classes and maintain a full load for all semesters, and I’d also have to take like 20 units next summer. I know I can do well, but my concern is looking unreasonable to law schools. Will they care about this? It’s just been a personal goal to graduate with honors and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to considering my first year here. Now I realize that I am capable of doing it and definitely want to.
Will law schools, especially the top ones, care about that? Should I explain why I’m doing it?
Thanks!
