<p>I’m curious if this is an OK essay topic- to write about how I had to move schools and how my parents got divorced and everything that happened to me during that time?</p>
<p>(applying to UC Schools)</p>
<p>Advice you’ll hear from a lot of people in this forum: its not the topic that makes the essay, its how you write it. </p>
<p>Don’t just write about events that occurred in your life, remember to show how they shaped who you are and how you overcame them, blah blah blah. Be detailed and show your personality. May the Force be with you.</p>
<p>ok thanks.</p>
<p>The topic is a little cliche so try to throw in something unique that happened during this time. Also, as cafe said, speak about how it changed you for the better.</p>
