<p>Is it bad to write about something that happened during my childhood. I think I read somewhere that you should write about recent events. I had a good rough draft on my voyage to the United States and the assimilation to America that followed, that was 18 years ago though.</p>
<p>Can someone help me out?</p>
<p>come on, someone knows the answer to this.</p>
<p>If your assimilation has affected who you are as a person today, and you elaborate on that in your essay, then I think the topic is fine.</p>
<p>Dude, if the essay represents YOU, it's perfect</p>
