Starting to write College Essay

<p>I am starting to write my essay for admissions at the University of Florida and I was wondering if what I was going to talk about would be a good topic for this prompt.</p>

<p>Prompt: In the space provided, please write a concise narrative in which you describe a meaningful event, experience or accomplishment in your life and how it will affect your college experience or your contribution to the UF campus community. You may want to reflect on your ideas about student responsibility, academic integrity, campus citizenship or a call to service. </p>

<p>I was going to talk about how my aunt and uncle are heavily involved with drugs and how it has kept me drug free and to stay in school to get where I want to be in life.</p>

<p>Should I include how my aunt died from a drug overdose?</p>

<p>I would greatly appreciate advice. Thank you.</p>

<p>It depends. Do you feel comfortable sharing such information? If you feel comfortable doing so and you feel that it will make your essay stronger, then go for it.</p>
