So the upenn essay asks about intellectual interests, I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on this idea.

I’ve been interested in genealogy for years now, and have actually done a pretty good amount of research on my family, their immigration, etc. I was thinking about discussing my interest in this, why people immigrated, the events that caused immigration, how immigrant communities were treated/set up etc. And discussing how I want to learn more about it? Kind of expand my knowledge in an academic sense, instead of just a side kind of hobby.

Will that work?
