<p>i’m working on the second prompt for the PS - the one that asks for a personal quality, etc etc. i’m doing personal quality - particularly resilience/persistence. the only thing is… <em>HUGE SIGH</em> the only example i have in my life is my family. now - i have avoided, quite desperately, choosing that as a subject to write in my PS, but i really don’t know what else to write.</p>

<p>without getting much into it - i share filial duties with my other siblings in taking care of family. i know - fully - that everyone has family issues, so i’m wondering - should i even broach this topic? i don’t want to seem like a pity party by ANY means, or be seen as if i think my family issues are the most significant and seem inconsiderate to others - that’d be the worse thing to ever do. but i’m at a loss of what else to do.</p>

<p>so: is it advisable to address family history?</p>

<p>Yeah well why not?</p>

<p>i dunno. i feel like it’d be…like calling for the pity card or whatever, and just be seen in a negative light, as if i’m using my family. and to be honest, it’s not a MAJOR issue - like cerebral palsy or anything. it’s just, it has had an effect in my life.</p>

<p>If it had an effect on your life and you think it’ll make you unique… why not?</p>
