I wonder if this makes any difference to my chances…

My mom was diagnosed with leukemia when I was in Grade 10. She was ill for nearly two years, and passed away in July this year.
One thing remarkable is that my grades actually significantly improved over the period of this tragedy.

I wrote one of my essays based on this overcoming of a predicament, and my teachers agreed that it was a very touching essay.

Will this tip the scale in my favor?
