<p>They definitely won’t think less of you! </p>
<p>Any topic is fine, and considering the number of applicants out there, every topic is also incredibly over-done 
Most people will tell you not to write essays on sad things because the writing then starts to get sappy and overbearing and since admissions has to read a lot of those, they just get irritated in general xD But, if you can write it well, an essay on your personal growth can be incredibly moving.</p>
<p>It’ll either go really well or really poorly. Give it a try! And just make sure you get a fresh eye to give you some feedback :)</p>
