So while doing my personal statement, I basically had to spill out my sob story, and it reminded me of very recent conversation I had with a couple of friends.
It was about our hardships, and how we've used it to grow and, admittedly, on college resumes and the such, and we came to the conclusion that we would rather of had the hardship not happen at all, have an easy life, and go to a community college than get into a prestigious university because of something that was out of our control. |

I do, but it really depends what the severity of the hardship is. Yeah, sometimes it makes you more relatable, but what the hardship is so bad you feel alone? And what if it's so bad that you didn't conquer it? Or perhaps, not to the extent that at others have.
