CommonApp Essay - prompt chioce

Hello guys,
I’m filing the CommonApp, but I still have to write my essay. Before even starting I’d like to share my chioce with you, because I’m not sure that it will fit (and impress).

I’d like to develop my experience through the admission/testing process for U.S. schools to show my determination during this hard period, even when difficulties show, with no one supporting me (parents neither) and no one helping if not for money (it’s a unusual chioce here, in Italy).
I think it would answer the fifth prompt (an accomplishment that marked the transition from childhood to adulthood), but I’m afraid that it would be too great a risk.
I would talk about future, dreams, confrontation with reality, responsibilities, focusing on my neverdying hope.

Do you think it will work? Do you have some typical examples of fullworking college essays? Thanks a lot.

If you have an unusual story, it might work. If you are going to say "my parents don’t understand me " it is a cliche.

Not so unusual to make it work, that’s what I fear… there is not a “wow” effect, it is just the truth.
But nothing else comes to my mind.
