It depends. If it is a personal reflection essay or a personal statement essay (like what you would use to apply for college) then, yes, it is okay. But, for all other essays, it's not. For example, instead of writing, "I would assume," write, "One would assume."
Good luck on your essay! (If you are writing one, that is.)

If it is a personal essay like a personal experience or a reference. If it's formal you stay away from first person like your life depends on it.

Yes! Especially if the essay is in a more narrative style.

Yes it is OK, unless you have an assignment which specifically forbids it. The problem occurs when most of the sentences or paragraphs start with "I". Then it becomes very boring.
