Essay topic about a family members illness?

<p>Do you think it would be a good idea to write an essay about this? I'm not really sure because I got mixed feedback from people I asked for advice..</p>

<p>Essays need to be about <em>you</em>. If you can describe how such a thing impacted you, and make it a compelling read, then go for it.</p>

<p>Thats what I planned to do, thanks. If anyone has any tips for writing a college essay, I’d REALLY appreciate it.</p>
