<p>Is it bad to write about something that happened during my childhood. I think I read somewhere that you should write about recent events. I had a good rough draft on my voyage to the United States and the assimilation to America that followed, that was 18 years ago though.</p>
<p>its not about the event that is important but the affect and what u learnt from it that makes it a good essay</p>
<p>^ +1...my friend in high school wrote his essay on a Rubix cube...and he got into Berkeley.</p>
<p>The Adcoms want to see who you are...in 500 words or less preferably lol.</p>
