<p>My son has written an essay required for a scholarship and we would like advice on the topic he chose to write about. </p>
<p>The prompt is: "Describe a recent issue that you have experienced or addressed that has helped you to define who you are or who you hope to become."</p>
<p>He wrote about when he was depressed last year, how he dealt with it (in counseling) and who he has become after it. </p>
<p>The concern is the word depression and how it will be heard by the scholarship committee. Any ideas how this would be viewed?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
