Is this topic for my common app essay acceptable?

<p>I wanted to write about how I used to be selected mute as a child and how I've evolved since then. (Prompt #1)
Do you think colleges will find it to be weird, even if I show evidence of how I've changed?</p>

<p>Does anyone know? Maybe I’m just over thinking…</p>

<p>It’s not that odd. I would make sure the focus is on the positive changes as you’ve grown and that your essay makes clear that this is not a limitation now.</p>

<p>@VSGPeanut101‌ that’s what I was thinking. Thank you.</p>

<p>It’s a great subject with a lot of potential. Perhaps you can try to emphasize how what you’ve learned has helped you overcome recent challenges. </p>

<p>I’m writing about a disease that I have that causes hair loss. Make sure you say how it made you a better person. </p>

<p>thanks everyone </p>
