<p>This idea just dawned on me. Would it be approiate to attack the common idea of a tragity essay because I have gone through a death, being my mother, and got overwhelming suggestions to write a heart string pulling essay about it but it would be a lie seeing that I haven't gone through and struggles. I wanted to write the common app essay under the prompt the thing so important to your story. Would it be okay to do that writing it like I wpuld be explaining it or will it be very insensitive?</p>
<p>I think you would have to be really careful with the way you wrote it. You might come off as insensitive, and you definitely don’t want that. It would probably be better to just choose a different topic, one that actually is important to your story, not what other people tell you would make a good essay.</p>
<p>Don’t write an essay about writing an essay. Use your time wisely, to write something simple and honest about you.</p>
