Start off with the defining moment in your life that made you want to be where you are today.

Start off with when and where you were born for example:

My name is Joe Smith, I was born 18 years ago in a city outside of Houston Texas. My mom stayed at home to care full time for myself and two sisters. My father worked long hours as a mechanic to feed his family. I always dreamed of one day becoming an attorney and owning my own business…..ect.

Hope that helped.

Start with a list of 20 to 50 key words, then link them together.

Academic

Sports

Summer and after-school jobs

Drama class

Chess club

Volunteer work at the hospital

Whatever you did

Recurring themes in your life (art, music, people)

Pick a theme for your essay that matches your HS career; this is your big chance to tie everything together.

Start with a goal. Or a dream.

When I was six, I wanted to be a psychologist. I used to arrange my teddy bears on the couch and play therapist. Freud University would be an excellent place to make the leap from teddy bears to live people….
