So, one of the prompts for the school I am applying to asks to write about the environment that I grew up in and how it shaped me (ApplyTexas Prompt A). I want to write about how my family has had financial difficulties but I’m not exactly sure how to put it into words without sounding like I want them to feel bad for me or something. How should I talk about this essay? I’m also really not sure how I could put in an anecdote describing this problem that would support my essay.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
