Essays / *My dad's influence on me in sports and technology*--Common App [5]

Hi,

I wrote my essay about how I have always been quick to pick things that my dad was doing, such as web design, blogging and most importantly (to me anyway), tennis. Most of the essay, after I introduce my interest in following my dad's activities throughout my life, is an anecdote from when I was little and learning tennis from him and how this has developed our relationship (he's my biggest cheerleader and role model). Is this a topic that is too cliche for my personal statement, especially for highly selective schools?

Thanks!
