<p>I think you’ll want to tread carefully here. You want to seem “real” but you don’t want to necessarily show a negative side of yourself unless you can show that you have learned and grown from this negative experience. If all the experience did was highlight your insecurities, I would advise against writing about it. If, however, you have been able to take this negative experience as a learning experience and improved upon those insecurities, then it could be a great essay!</p>
