Both of these are fine in my opinion. For #2, focus on what you gained from these experiences, e.g resiliency, adaptability, independence, etc.Which of these is better for my adversity essay for secondaries:
1) My mom was diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer at the end of my second year in undergrad. I had to drive back and forth from school (2 hour trip) to take care of her and attend her chemo sessions and surgeries in addition to keeping of my school work and activities.
2) I moved around a lot cross-county when I was growing up. I only went to each school for K-12 for a max of 2 years before changing schools. This led to a lot of bullying and feelings of inadequacy because I did not know the curriculum the new schools were teaching and I always felt behind. I also had very little support system because I lost my friends whenever we moved.
Would either of these work or should I come up with something else?
