Creative/catchy intro for UC essays?

Should I try to have a creative intro for my UC essays, rather than a straightforward topic sentence that gets to the point like "I faced many challenges as a student and one such challenge was..blahblah" (but obviously better than that) Or would it be better to have a creative start?

I've heard that UCs just want straightforward stuff and yea..

I don't think it matters. Whatever sounds the best and works the best for your essay will be ...the best.
