Does my idea answer the question?

I'm working on this essay now:
Describe the world you come from and how that world shaped who you are.

Do you think it would be ok if I didn't answer the question as broadly as it seems to ask me to? I have an essay about a thing that happened to me when I was visiting India and how it shaped my family values. Could I focus on that aspect of how my world shaped me rather than on how it shaped my in general. This is 250 word one, which is why such a broad response does not seem fitting to me.
