<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am currently writing my 2nd of 2 total college entrance essays. </p>

<p>I’m having problems with the 2nd essay though. I do not know how to start the 2nd essay.</p>

<p>The topic is </p>

<p>Write about any previous commendable experiences，any extra-curricular activities you hope to pursue after you have entered the university， and your plans after graduation.</p>

<p>I have plenty of information to fill the essay out quick, but I have no idea how to start it off. The opening paragraph is what is holding me back. Any ideas?</p>

<p>A chunk of my essay is going to revolve around my military experience (5 years in straight out of high school). Should I try to include this in the opening paragraph? If so, how?</p>

<p>If you can think of any great words anyone told you during your time in the military than you can make your first paragraph a short anecdote about that person and how the words of him/her affected you. You could also do more of an opening “scene” sort of thing where you begin with a memory of that commendable experience or something of the sort. I don’t know, just some quick ideas off the top of my mind :)</p>

<p>Yeah going of from what the previous user posted, maybe starting with descriptions of a battlefield if you were in combat or maybe a memorable experience. I would definitely include your military experience in the opening paragraph but that’s just me.</p>
