This seems like a difficult topic to pull off. It is okay to write about something totally ordinary, an experience in childhood, an encounter on the street, anything really. If you have suffered misfortunes and faced them maturely, you can just write about them directly if you like, or cover them in a supplementary essay.

The purpose of essays is for the colleges to get to know you. It is okay also to write in a conversational style. If you feel insecure about this, record yourself talking or dictate to someone and then write it down, for a start.
