Taboo topic for a creative writing piece?

<p>For one of the colleges I am applying to, we are required to write a one page creative writing piece on the most emotional moment in our lives. I am aware for normal college admissions essays certain things are off topic, but I am wondering if you guys think that that is not the case for a creative writing essay? I am planning on writing about the moment I discovered something really bad about a family member, something that does not refeclt on me as a person but I would normally not tell anyone. However, I truly think it is one of the most emotional moments in my life. Any input?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
