I have a slightly different perspective. I feel like your life story would be incomplete without mentioning how far you’ve come. But a college application is NOT a life story. A college application is more similar to a job application. They don’t really want to know the deeper you, they are just making a snap decision as to whether to “hire” you on in the role of a student at this college. The admissions workers are not people in your trusted inner circle; they are random people hired to make fast decisions of yes or no. Save the deeper aspect of who you are for the people you decide merit being your chosen family.
