Question regarding my essay

<p>My essay topic is about a personal circumstance or acedemic experience. I decided to write about how i overcame the odds in 4th grade to win in a game of dodgeball(i was last left in and had 3 guys to face on the other team), and show how this made me realize that if i put my mind to it i can overcome anything.</p>

<p>I was wondering if i should add this sentence or not to it. But I’m not sure if the person reading my essay would get it or not.</p>

<p>“I was decent at dodgeball, but I was no Patches O’Houlihan”</p>

<p>Should i add it or just leave it out of the essay?</p>

<p>Don’t use it unless you can find a way to somehow work in who Patches O’Houlihan is during your essay.</p>
