None of us are denying how important all this is to you. We’re saying find a better way to entice adcoms. Recognize that the application and essay are about how you will fare in college, what you will contribute to the whole. The essay isn’t about your personal goals, nor your intense backstory. They do like to see positive outlook- which is darned hard to “show” when you’re immersed in the gory details of a situation.

Look for topic where you can have the right touch. All good writing is about writing to your readers’ interests and goals.

I have often described admissions as a “look forward.” Ie, they are looking at your app and trying to project the sort of kid you will be on campus, academically and socially. The messy details of the past are not what sell them. Sorry to be blunt.
