College essay topic: high risk high reward or play it safe?

It’s starting to be that time of year where I need to seriously decide what my college essay should be about so here are my options

High risk: how the I heavily relate to the character rumi from kpop demon hunters, specifically how I interpreted her hiding her scars as me hiding my culture and identity as a Asian who went from urban LA to the suburban Midwest and *possibly* try to rope in how all of this made me want to study sociology (ROUGH draft available for those wondering)

Play it safe: a general essay of how being a 2 generation immigrant who went from urban LA to the suburban Midwest made me suffer, chafe, and grow and how meeting these wildly different people made me want to study sociology
