Jnnyfromtheblok 1 / - Jun 21, 2013 #1I am writing my undergrade admissions essay about how my dad's kidney failure has changed my outlook in life and would like to know what you guys think of "While celebrating mother's day i nearly lost my father" as an opening sentence?
temptprovidence 8 / 163 35 Jun 21, 2013 #2oh yes.. a great topic it is but not as a topic sentence or starting line. not even using the sentence at all is the best option... if the question allows you..that sentence have enough attraction to make all of it. besides you must use a sentence for starting like...."happy mother's day mom!" i hugged my mother....or something like that... BEST OF LUCK!

However, you quickly need to explain the bsckgrund as this opening statement arouses curiosity of the reader and you need to clear their mind in a creatve manner, yet it should be clear and comprehensive. We are awaiting for the full essay! .... ;)

jkjeremy - / 380 72 Jun 22, 2013 #5what you guys think of "While celebrating mother's day i nearly lost my father" as an opening sentence?It's probably fine. Certainly it's unusual, and that's a good thing.More important is what you write in the remainder of your essay.
