[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't write about overcoming anything unless your kid has been homeless or similar. Even then, it may not be the best topic. There are too many ways it can go wrong. Write about something that puts your dc in the best possible light.[/quote] I don't work in admissions but I am a writer, and I don't think that's right. You can write about overcoming anything so long as you do it with awareness and insight. You don't have to have survived an attempted murder that took our your whole family to have a story to tell. You just have to tell your story in the right way - be authentic. Don't be a jerk.[/quote] ^ Unless you are a jerk and can write about that with insight! Then that's fine, too. The question really is how skillful the writer is, not what the topic is.[/quote]
