Hi, I was just wondering if what I would like to write about fits into the prompt.

Prompt: Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

I want to write about how my brother was diagnosed with cancer when I was nine and I had to become more responsible, independent, and mature.

Would that be on topic or off topic?
