Can I write my college essay on my nipple peircing that I did by myself at home? It connects to the philosophy that I live by which is : you only live once, so live life to the fullest.
Well, I think you need to analyze the behavior of your teacher. If he’s ok with topics like this, than I think there are no problems.
However, I suppose you have to use your experience only like an exemple in the essay, and not just the main topic. Good luck!
