Is this a good college essay idea?

IMO the purpose of a college essay should be:

1. To tell something positive (trait, accomplishment, etc) about yourself that isn’t elsewhere on the application and;

2. To give admission officers a reason to want to have you on campus.

I recommend you start off by writing an outline/draft and see where it takes you. Focus on the positives and avoid any “poor me” sentiments.
