I don't think there is a problem with sharing this at all, and I don't think it's that cliche tbh. I think this is a great story that will show who you are and how you grew up -- if you were determined at 10, you are probably a determined person today. I see how you're trying to connect it with the vow you made at 17 with your first job, but I'm not sure if that part would be a good addition to this story.

I'm just another applicant, and this is just my opinion so do with it what you will. Good luck this cycle!

I appreciate your thoughts! Yeah I'm hoping I'll be able to show what you said through this story. The only reason I thought to include my first job is to bring it all together to something that's more recent. Good luck this cycle!!
 
Not a cliche at all. You are applying alongside applicants (many, many applicants) whose parents handed them a couple $20 bills every week as walking around money.

That said, make sure you aren't coming across as someone who is choosing medicine for the money.

Absolutely, thank you! I want to make sure they don't get that impression from this experience
