UC essay on my brother.

I wanted to talk about mydisabled brother on my essay. What should I write about him? Having trouble…

Try a draft but make sure the essay substantially is about your experience and life-lessons. It can’t be an essay about him only.

Can i send you mines?

Sure, if you want feedback.

Remember, this essay is about YOU. You’re writing this essay to “give them a reason to say yes”— to you, not your brother.

Concentrate on small details. How has his disability changed you as a person? Don’t be afraid to include a little humor-- that’s what tends to keep us sane when things are rough.

Just write a draft, that’s the hard part. Editing is easy. Just get some thoughts down on paper.

We need to know more facts about him and your family. Just list some facts/details regarding the issue and we can begin to help you.

He used to have epilepsy. He can’t talk. I’m the only one who could take care of him besides my dad because he doesn’t get along with my mom

I’m so sorry-- it sounds rough.

But remember-- this essay has to be about you-- what you’ve taken from the experience of caring for your brother, what you’ve grown and how you’ve changed as a person.
