<p>I only read two of daughters essays
One essay dealt with gay-dar except a step further in which people were visually identifiable according to their sexual preference. ( shades of blue- I think she won $$ for that one)
Another was dealing with ADD in a family of ADD+ and strategies that she had, had to come up with to cope.
If your daughter was a dwarf or actually had an extreme disabilty that she had to develop coping skills for- then an essay can illustrate that college will not present obstacles that they can't over come. But being just a tad shorter than the average woman- isn't really something that is physically disabling and by drawing attention to it other than as an aside in an essay could be a real turn off</p>
