For my adversity essay, I'm considering writing about dealing with homophobia from my mother after coming out to her and then channeling my disappointment into working to deconstruct heteronormativity and emphasizing mental health in my sorority leadership position. Is that enough of a "growth" from this adversity or does it sound too superficial? Is it too personal to discuss my relationship with my mother? Should I keep it more vague and just talk about homophobia in general? Additionally, I've only had one semester of bad grades, and it was the semester that I came out to her, because it had a detrimental effect on my mental health. Should I mention that or avoid it? Thanks in advance!
