is the asian-dad-is-so-strict essay too overdone?

<p>for umich one of the topics is:</p>

<p>Describe a setback that you have faced. How did you resolve it? How did the outcome affect you? If something similar happened in the future, how would you react?</p>

<p>im almost done with it but im doubting the it's good enough for umich.
its about my dad and i and how our relationship was practically nonexistant bceause hes a typical narrowminded asian parent obsessed with ivies. then i resolved it by talking to him and stuff. i dunno. it seems so lame.</p>

<p>i can send it to people to read and critique. maybe that would help?</p>

<p>If it demonstrates maturity, emotional growth, empathy on your side, it could be a nice essay.</p>

<p>Seems like a fairly good topic if written well. Unless you have something better, I'd go with it.</p>
