<p>Is it a bad idea to write about something that happened to me before high school?</p>

<p>No it’s not a bad idea, just make sure to talk about how the experience changed or influenced you and what those changes / influences are even to this day. You want to make sure that the colleges want to admit the current you, not 7th grade you! So if you’re going to talk about the death of a parent, make sure to say how their death influence you even to this day, for example. </p>
