Hi all! I wanted to get this wisdom of my peers on whether either of these is a good choice, and the potential pitfall I see with each.

A tale of two births. I wanted to explore how the contrast between the entries of my first & second kiddos into the world had a profound effect on me. There are external challenges, internal challenges, turning points, solutions, specific changes of perspective, and it's a very personal and passionate thing for me. My only hesitation is that it involves both a c-section and non-surgical birth (no gory details, I promise) and I worry that might be controversial. I would not be taking a stand, just talking about how I felt & what I learned, but it can be a sensitive subject for some. What do you think? Too risky? Or possible with careful handling?

The time I moved halfway around the world, just because I could. It was the most amazing three years of my life, my first kid was born there, and I grew/learned a ton. No human rights angle. It makes for interesting telling, but for a law school application is it too close a variation on the overused semester abroad theme?

What do you think? 1? 2? Or are there reasons I should scrap both and go back to the drawing board?
