Hey everyone, I just had a quick question about an essay topic for a secondary application essay. The essay question is, " Describe any circumstances indicative of some hardship, such as, but not limited to, financial difficulties, personal or family illness, a medical condition, a death in the immediate family or educational disadvantage." I have been grateful not to have many extreme hardships during my undergrad. The biggest one I can think of is when my now older sister came out to my family as been transgender (which I fully supported her) and began the transition from male to female. I'm not trying to start any discussion about the transgender topic, I just want to know if it would be appropriate for me to talk about it since it did cause a lot in my family (deeply Christian-rooted), along with myself and my academics due to having to miss several days for various reasons. Thanks and just let me know!
