<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I’m looking to write an essay for the common app prompt about my transition from childhood to adulthood.</p>

<p>I’ve been an avid mountain climber for half my life. A few years ago I had a terrible mountain tragedy unfold right in front of me. I had to grow up pretty quick to deal with the whole situation.</p>

<p>Could this be too gruesome of a topic if a pretty horrible death is involved? Could that make it disturbingly interesting to the readers? Any feedback is appreciated.</p>
