I am starting my essays and have a few questions. Is it OK if my essays have a focus of things that happened before my high school, but taught me something that will be valuable throughout my life. For example, I did one on my disabled brother, one about my mom going back to college and me taking on responsibilities and learning about independence, helping others, the value of education, another is about how I have taken advantage of educational opportunities that will help me in college (for that one I talked about how I was left-handed and so was the rest of my family, but everyone else was artistic while I had motor skill problems and learning that it took effort to learn to do things and all I had to do was practice...etc.) Do you think these are OK?

I guess they should be fine...I don't see why the essays must be confined to the high school years.
