Well, no, not so much, but it is pretty clear you are feeling like you haven’t had adversity. That may be the case, so for goodness sake don’t write about something as if you had. You need to write about something you are passionate about.</p>
<p>Since many colleges usually give some sort of choices, my kids religiously avoided the adversity ones. They also both avoided writing about volunteer trips to impoverished lands. That’s done a lot and it has to be GOOD to be successful.
Eventually, a time came when they got one they couldn’t avoid. Fortunately, I think it was softened a little (write about a challenge you had, or something you overcame…). A successful applicant I know talked about her fear of public speaking and what she did to challenge herself on that. The boy talked about his (very real) challenge to medal at the state sports competition.</p>
<p>Finally, I would say that it appears you still have some time. You have an opportunity to try something in which you put yourself out there more than you might normally be comfortable with. It might sound “risky” to you or your parents but it can also yield rewards. You never really know what you are capable of until you push yourself.</p>
