<p>I’m thinking of writing one of my essays on how it was for me, a homosexual, to grow up in the South (specifically, Georgia). I’m not sure how this will be taken by colleges. What do you think?</p>
<p>i think thats perfectly fine.
my essay was about my struggle with anorexia and how it has changed my outlook on life. i think the more personal you go with your application, the more the college has to view you as a person vs. just numbers..</p>
<p>i'm also considering writing about this. the only difference is that with me, it was my first-generation immigrant from a Latin American country status that was a struggle.</p>
