Hi guys, I will be a high school senior and I have started applying to colleges. For my common app essay, I decided to write about my dad’s brain cancer, the discovery of it, my responsibilities since, and how my family and I have reacted to it. In writing about his cancer as an essay, does that come off as overly sharing or anything? It’s been a big part of my life recently so I feel like it’s an important part of my application.

Thanks for your advice!
