A starting sentence? Essay for college entrance exam.

What starting sentence can I use for my college admission essay? by the way my name is Gabriel Garcia

Just a suggestion:

"I remember the day I decided to become an engineer."

And then just describe that day. I think that it would help to show what exactly your interests and a chosen major are right form the start. Few students enter college knowing what they want. This could make a difference.

Yeah... really, it is necessary to do something before writing that first sentence. Before writing an essay, you need an idea.

In school, we write essays because we have to, but in real life we write essays because we are struck suddenly with inspiration.

You do not need to know the first sentence. Instead, think of ANY sentence. Write a sentence that tells what comes to mind when you look at the essay prompt. What is the prompt for the essay?
