On revealing sensitive details from your personal life

I can’t really tell you what to do as far as holding back on sensitive aspects of your personal life in the essay you turn in for this course. I suspect the more sensitive the details are, the more likely it is that they will capture the interest of your readers. Don’t reveal something you’ll regret later on, though. The grade you get will be on how effective the writing is, not how much you reveal about your personal life.

If you want to write a personal essay that you don’t want to share with the other members of the class, though, we can probably work something out (like, maybe they’ll only see parts of it).
