I think that this could be an excellent essay topic, depending upon how you frame it. Being the younger sibling of a disabled person is a very difficult situation. Many people would say that it was good for them - that they learned responsibility and empathy early on, and that despite the drawbacks, they deeply love their disabled sibling. Others very reasonably feel that it’s been a terrible burden, has pretty much ruined their childhood. Both reactions are valid, but I would say that the latter would not make a good essay. The former most definitely could.
