Should writing about my experience with racism be a good idea? I live in a predominately ***** area and have been made
fun of and stereotyped against for being black. Could I use this in my college essay to show I was able to overcome adversity?
I don’t see any problem with that. Just focus on how that experience made you stronger instead of focusing on the negative in your essay
@annana Thanks for the feedback.
Annana is right. Keep it positive. Also be specific. Focus on the high school years (not growing up in general) and what you were able to do (the key here is action) in high school that made the difference. Good luck!
Thank you.
