<p>I’m assuming this issue is already resolved at this point but I would like to add that there is absolutely no harm in making a rough draft. </p>

<p>I disagree with most people on this thread in the sense that I have seen a number of “tragic” essay topics that turned out to be absolutely phenomenal. They not only spoke a lot about the student “as a person” but also defined who they are today. </p>

<p>My admission into Cornell University, for example, came not from my SATs (not to competitive for ivys- just barely reached a 2100) or extra curriculars. Rather it was due to my stellar essays that outlined an extremely tragic incident that shaped my life today. I felt passionate about the topic and therefore the essay came out much better than I expected and I consequently received admission into the college of my dreams. </p>

<p>To OP, all I have to say is DO NOT be discouraged from writing what you want to. Definitely try it out and see what happens! You never know - this essay could just be the difference between acceptance and rejection!! </p>

<p>Thank you for all of your advise. Even though the essay may receive potential, it is very trecherous, which I really understand. I will rather focus my essay on a developing experience I had that I endured severe harships in as well.</p>

<p>well mention what happened briefly and then be like," I’m sure that despite anything, i will be able to be a succesful person" or something similar. Because you will learn to live with what happened, even if you never get over it, because those kinds of things mark you and are impossible to forget.</p>
