Common App Essay

<p>Hey All! I am currently a senior doing my college apps. I am considering writing about my freshman year when I started drinking and ended up getting caught by my parents. I turned my life around and now am nothing like the freshman version of me. Is this too personal of an essay for colleges? I've turned it into a very powerful essay but I am worried that colleges won't like the fact that I used to drink. Help me out!</p>
