<p>I feel like everyone talks about an experience or problem in their life that they must overcome. Is this necessary? My essay right now is more just about something unique I am interested it. No challenges or hardships.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>That’s fine. Write what you want to write about. Overcoming adversity is just used by ‘everyone’ because it may be what they find easiest to portray themselves through.</p>
<p>Don’t forget, the AOs have to read an awful lot of “overcoming adversity” essays. It can be refreshing to get one that is about some other aspect of a student’s life.</p>
