<p>I'm trying to write an essay on leadership, and i was just wondering if it'd be ok if i wrote about something a bit unusual.
For 3 months last year my brother and i had to stay alone... our mother was working out of town. He was 14, and i was 17, so i had to look after him and stuff. Could i talk about this in my essay? Or is it not necessarily about leadership? Or was 3 months too short a time for it to be significant??</p>
