You don't necessarily have to not talk about any of those things, especially if it is important to you. What you should not do is to frame in a generic way. You want to catch the attention of an admission officer who has probably read thousands if not tens of thousands of essays. You have to take a unique approach with a unique storyline and a unique ending. Or else, he/she,out of boredom and annoyance, could throw out your essay (electronicaly anyway :D) and basically your entire application is ---.
