Personal Statement - transition from adulthood to childhood

Is it okay that I wrote my essay on my 7th grade experience? :stuck_out_tongue:
It’s long time ago but the event really influenced me a lot.
I’m kinda concerned that my argument that I became mature in 7th grade won’t be too convincing.
I know it’s super late but should I change my topic now?

I think it’s fine. A lot of my essay takes stuff from my childhood. I don’t think it’s really fair for colleges to expect us to have the biggest moments/experiences in high school. Some of us had a boring high school experience.

@QrtyUiop Out of curiosity, do you relate your childhood experiences to your current self often?

my essay does the same. Any emphasis on growth, maybe a more enlightened view on life sounds pretty good
