Hi, I am working on the draft for my essay this is the beginning for it! Just looking for feedback on if my start is good!

"Boov"
A purple boov looking for a home understanding me better than my own calculator would was NOT on my bucket list. My calculator has always been there for me. Regardless of the schools I switched or the classes I went to. It gave me the answers I needed & without fail. Mistakes made here or there, but still without fail. I enter the numbers, follow the correct steps, and end with a simple solution. Belonging has never felt that way. There isn't a formula that will tell you where you fit in nor who will make you feel understood. That will give you a place to be you. Instead, it was this 2000s animated movie of a purple alien that help me understand that more than any calculator or formula could.

P.S. I wrote this kind of on a whim but I want my essay to stick with the reader rather than be skimmed through

The way that your opening paragraph will be received by the reviewer will depend upon the common app prompt that you are responding to. Since this is not the complete draft yet, I cannot tell you if this essay Wil be skimmed over or read seriously by the reviewer. That is something I can only assess once I have read the full essay and I know what the prompt is. So far, the essay is off to a fun and whimsical start. I do not understand how the calculator and movie will connect though. That was left hanging by the missing paragraphs. If you want to write an effective beginning, you need to clearly address the prompt at the start. If possible, use a creative paraphrase for it. Like I said, this essay is a fun start, but I do not know if the rest of the essay will be fun reading for the reviewer or if he will think it is lacking something. Come back once you have completed the essay so I can completely review and consider your presentation from the POV of a reviewer.
