am prewriting secondaries. I've had a great deal of difficulty with the overcoming an obstacle essay/challenge. I've written a few essays and have a couple other topics I could write about, but am unsure:
- "Learning to be comfortable in my own skin" black, grew up low-income, went to undergrad where AA pop was around 4%, then entered industry where demographics were similar. I really like this essay, but wonder if since its an 'internal' obstacle, that maybe it wouldn't fit?
- Was assigned a very difficult project when I first entered the workforce, took diligence, lot of work, but was able to deliver, gave me tools/confidence to approach any problem going forward, i.e., next job, premed classes, etc.
- grew up in a rough area, have been on the wrong side of a gun twice, low-performing high school-school (fights, gangs, stabbings, etc.)
- this is honestly probably the greatest obstacle i've overcome, but feel like its already pretty well established in my primary app, plus I worry it is perceived as a pity party.
