<p>I am having the same problem. I have been staring at this question for months and no one, not me or any family or friends, has come up with a good answer. I have been fortunate enough to live a pampered upper middle class life with loving and supportive parents. I can’t come up with any time where things have been working against me. What did you end up writing? Because Pitt isn’t too high on my list, but it would be a shame not to apply just because I can’t answer the essay prompt.</p>
