I think I have a very insightful and emotional take on this. I am going to cover 5 years of schooling a predominantly Indian and poor charter school that all spurred from this one event in which I was picked on. Is this too broad? I feel I am able to make it concise enough but I worry about perhaps making it seem like I’m glazing over my years at the school.
If the essay prompt is asking about an event that changed your life, that might be a good one. Write a good story, share some philosophy. It could work if you are a good writer and it feels genuine and emotional. Insightful and emotional are good things.
It is all about how well it is written.
