(Science in Information Systems) I can't find an opening to my essay?

I'm applying for a graduate school for a master of Science in Information Systems, and I can't find a good opening for my essay, Any help please?

Describing the main academic interests, strengths and limitations, explaining why this school.

Hi Jan,

I'm currently writing a personal statement for the University of Washington, CSE department. I find that statements are usually kind of formal. The basic grasp for and introduction is always getting a "hook." Something that would grab the committee's attention. Maybe right something outrageous or just unusual relating your academic interest, strengths and limitations? A joke would be fine. Or a phrase from Buddha or someone famous that relates to you personally. Hopefully you'll get out of this writer block soon :). good luck

My problem that I studied a lot of the GRE test essays, and the book I'm studying from (Kaplan) uses a different way of answering the essays (Issue, and Argue) essay, That's way I feel it hard to find how to find a way to write it done or catch the beginning. :) ..Thanks for your help .

Any sentence that inspires to read the whole write ups.
Conversation lines, proverb, interesting sentence with word rhymes ,...

Think about yourself, what kind of essay you want to read?
