<p>Ok, so my family has never been the closest knit bunch ever. We have our moments, but it's been very scattered through my life. However, my sister has always stood out as being an inpertinate, ungrateful little punk well above what the normal teenage girl should be (sorry females). She's always had constant fits, and has caused my family so much strife and grief because of it. It is because of this, I have taken more of a role of an offspring, doing more around the house, spending more time with my family, etc. I believe my sister's "actions" have always kept me on the other side of the line of morals, and she has taught me how not to act and how I should go about my life to be a good, helpful person to society.</p>

<p>Obviously that isn't a direct line from an essay, that is just how I feel. But would this topic be ok, or does it spew "sob story" all over it? Is it kind of generic?</p>

<p>I think it’s fine, but you should make sure that your essay is mostly about you, even though you’re writing about your sister. Don’t spend more time talking about how ungrateful she is than you need to.</p>

<p>I think that most colleges aren’t concerned with the topic of your essay as much as your attitude and voice on the subject. So, yeah, as long as you can write one that shows them a lot about who you are I think this topic can fly.</p>
