Not sure what you mean by “lots of tension.” I don’t think you should tailor your essay to some idea of what Harvard wants. If you are passionate about something, of course write about it. But, yes it should be about you. An essay can be about ordinary things too. Write what you are inspired to write. It’s early yet- plenty of time.
