Is this topic too ad misericordiam-y?

<p>So last year I lost both of my parents - long story. Anyway, I wanted to write about this and how I overcame it and still did well in school, etc. But would that be too risky and too much of a sob story?</p>

<p>Like I have other things I could write about like living in my sibling's shadow and slowly coming into my own or like going to Haiti after the earthquake and helping out. </p>

<p>Go with your journey of loss of your parents.</p>
