This one indeed features an extremely advanced grammatical structure.
1. [(((어린 나이에) (끝까지) (본인의 인생을) (충실히 살다 가려고)) -> (애쓰는)) -> (그 모습에서)]
2. [((가방만 들고) -> (왔다 갔다 하며)) -> (시간을 허비하고 있는)] ->
3. 내가 얼마나 한심한지 깨닫고야 말았다
The whole sentence is actually not that hard if you omit 2)
1) is the sub sentence:
"Seeing (the little girl/boy?) doing her/his best to live her/his life diligently until the bitter end at a very young age"
3) is the main sentence:
"I ended up realizing what a pathetic person I am, "
2) is the sub sentence describing that 'I'
"just wasting time running around mindlessly with a bag in the hand"
(implying commuting to school/college at the parents' expense)
Seeing (the little girl/boy?) doing her/his best to live her/his life diligently until the bitter end at a very young age
I ended up realizing what a pathetic person I am,
just wasting time running around mindlessly with a bag in the hand.

My translation is
===================================================================
Seeing him(or her) struggling for a fulfilling life even in his(her) young age,
I realized that I was a pathetic creature with a commuter bag just wasting my time.
