Essays / "Why education is important." - 1st paragraph ideas / literacy topic [5]

I need to write an essay on why I believe college education is important. Of course, I know the reasons, and I was going to write about how my parents struggled with low-income due to the fact that they had not gone to college, but I cannot think of a way to start this essay. I want it to be FANTASTIC. If anyone has any 1st paragraph ideas, please share.
