<p>Hi everyone well I am writing an essay for my college. Well let me tell you about myself first and then I will tell you what I will write about. Well in the start of high school my parents just got divorced. My mom battled her emotional problems and my dad battled his drug addction. This affected me and was largely resposnbile for my bad grades. However, I got inspired by my close connections with my aunt and mariah Carey. I got inspired and I had a whole bunch of faith and I beleibed in my self. When I connected with mariah Carey I forgived my parents and took myself out of special ed and placed my self in honors classes. I lost weight and I made friends (something I never had before). Now this is not my essay this is just my life in a little paragraph. Now in the essy I want to talk about how my dads drug addiction affected me and how living with my mom with bipolar made be fell bad. I will only talk abotu this less than 1/3 of my essay. Then I will tlak about how I was inpsired by mariah carey and then how I chnaged my life and how the expeince when I voulntered in peru chaned my life. Now I read somewhere never talk about the double d's death, divorce and drugs. However, I do not want to life about my life this is what really happens. I just want your opinion of colleges would see this as a red flag (sorry I have a lot of spelling errors I am very buzy with all of these college apps)</p>
<p>any ideas if wheter i should do this or not? Or should I do something else? If i would do something else how would I explain my decline in my grades?</p>
<p>actually i read some supplement essays that said how you overcame family problmes but then i read somewhere where you cant talk about this. I am so confused and i really dont know what to write. My dean said I should write what is in my heart...uhhhh mannnn well i know i will write my essay regardless maybe im just stressing</p>
<p>so no one in this site can help?</p>
<p>bump (please someone give some crtic it has to be by the jan 1 deadline)</p>
<p>write it.
I'll critique it for you, but your writing style is very important. Any topic can become a good essay. Just write it.</p>
<p>wow thank you so much. This really means a lot to me to write a topic that i always wanted to write about. I was just worried that the admissions people would black list me but i still talk a lot about how i imporved and how this setback made me stonrger and how it improved my life. Thanks again!You really helped so much by just saying that!!! THANK YOU!!</p>
