I am currently writing my comonapp essay, and the prompt Im using is " Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family. "

I have Type 1 Diabetes and wanted to write about how my diagnosis caused me to mature faster than my peers since managing diabetes is in only the patient’s hands. Does this sound too "pity me"ish since it is the disease that made me have to mature, or is it ok, since it is based on maturing(which is a positive thing)?
