Say what you need to say. Don't waste words. Don't be too vague. Don't generalize too often. In my opinion it is easier to construct and write the rest of the essay before the intro since you might derive something great from what you have written.
Jump right in whatever you want to say, don't think about it too much.
Good luck.
