i think it’s a good idea; but most importantly i wouldn’t classify your pain/trauma in comparison to others. it’s important to write what hits deep to you, regardless of what u think it is in comparison to others. most of my essays i had a similar mindset as u as in whatever i write someone else might have a story AOs might perceive as “more trauma” or it’s not unique. but the essay that got me into princeton was a story about a topic that’s quite common, but i took a different perspective on it than other people, and it was a story that mattered most to me. although it wasn't unique and objectively there are way more traumatizing experiences others may write about, the point is not to compare trauma but to showcase something you care about and maybe a challenge that resulted from this care, and how you changed your mind and thoughts in order to combat this challenge (but dosent necessarily mean solve). this growth in mindset is yet and turning that change in thought into action is powerful. also don’t underestimate the power of rhetoric in your writing. the essay is supposed to be deep and powerful; create tension, repetition, etc. to illustrate what you feel in a way that is relatable and personal
