Yes, a resounding yes, to wanting to know your story if I was your rec writer. Your rec writer needs to know you! Your summary/autobiographical sketch will give the writer a chance to get to know you and your story. She will learn the why of your situation, the where of your travels, the why of your reason to attend LSU, etc.
Your story and background are going to be a key component in your recruitment, imo. You will be remembered as the girl from Norway who lived all over Europe, etc. Your conversations will be different than other pnms and that is a good thing.
As a sidenote - I rarely tell pnms to write an attached explanation of their circumstances unless something major has occurred in her life that needs to be included as a complement to her resume. But this is one of those times. I think a lot of questions can be answered and more information can be provided than in a resume alone. Plus, since these alums are not your personal acquaintances, you did not attend hs in the area, etc. you need this as another way for the alums to get to know you. (which, in turn, will help the actives get to know you)
I hope you will come back and tell us how recruitment goes for you!
