I agree with most of the tips. However while respecting the author's opinion, I personally feel that the struggle shared doesn't necessary need to be one that you have overcome. You could still come up with pretty good essays, depicting your struggle that is still in the battle.
On not being too modest in essay, on the other hand, don't be too arrogant too.
Good Luck!
