<p>ok, as a community college transfer, my first question to answer is:</p>
<p>1: what is your intended major? discuss how your interest in the field developed and desribe any experience you have had in the field- such as volunteer work, internships and employment, participation in student organization and activites- and what you have gained from your involvement.</p>
<p>I dont know how to start my first sentence. Once i get my first sentence started, i could start flowing. </p>
<p>Should i just be blunt and say, " my intended major is architecture....."</p>
<p>and how should i tie it in that I first delevoped my interest in architecture was in high school.</p>
<p>MUCH HELP IS APPRECIATED!
its due in 3 days!!!</p>
<p>Write ANYTHING for your first draft. "My intended major is architecture" sounds great to me. Once you written the whole thing, take a look at it, figure out the most important thing you have to say, and use that to replace the placeholder. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to write the stupid thing. You can fix it later. Perfection is the enemy of good enough. Good luck.</p>
<p>I always like to start with an attention grabber, something that makes your essay stand-out. Be creative, admissions officers (in my opinion) love creativity, it reflects your personality and makes you seem more human.</p>
<p>The best thing to do is to ask yourself questions and brainstorm.</p>
<p>What happened when you took that first drafting class? Did something turn on in your brain? Did you start seeing the world differently?</p>
<p>^ that's the problem with me, i dont know how to start.
im trying as hard as i can but somehow im not able to think creatively(only in essay writing).</p>
<p>they do get alot of essays and i just had the notion to make it simple and easy to read. Get to the point fast.</p>
<p>Hmm..how about you start with a very general statement and then support it with how you developed your interest in architecture. For example, maybe something like: </p>
<p>"Sometimes, interests develop in an unexpected setting. My interest in architecture is a perfect example, which developed in high school when I took my first drafting class. "</p>
<p>It's not an amazing starter, but I guess it's a little better than coming right out and saying "My intended major is Architecture and my interest in the field was developed in high school when I took my first drafting class."</p>
<p>lmao you have writer's block. here's an idea:</p>
<p>For years, I went through life like most students with no idea of what I would be doing in the future. When I stepped into architecture class for the first time, I realized I had found my passion.</p>
<p>Just start writing some crap. Even if it's crap like that, at least you'll have something. You'll never have anything to work with if you don't go with it.</p>
<p>I'm writin a research paper for English right now and am the same way...I spend literally an hour on the intro, but I finally decided **** it, and I type what I'm thinkin at first then go back and revise it. It works, trust me.</p>
<p>I had the same exact problem. You gotta just look past the "topic sentence" for now...just get all of your ideas on the paper. Start writing everything you want to say...don't worry about the order, structure, wording - none of that. Get the ideas down first. Worry about the details, such as sentence and paragraph structure and topic sentence once you have the substance of your essay down.</p>
<p>no i understand brand_182. YOure exactly right, I do have writers block.</p>
<p>and you know what, im leaning on keeping the intro, blunt and simple. I decided to make my body more important than start something that is truely isnt me.</p>
<p>and yea, thats what i usually do, spend at least 3-4 hrs on the intro(not even kidding) and 30-40 minute on the body and conclusion because once i get a intro i like, it starts smoothing out.</p>
<p>ha, i should be a veteran at this too since i did this already when i graduated from HS. </p>
<p>its truely sad...</p>
<p>btw, i appreicate the intro, but i remember doing something like that, and look where i am now...community collge.</p>
<p>^ i cant believe i wasted 5hrs in trying to figure a creative intro. to be honest, i read some freshmens paper and man, their intro is long and doesnt get to the point fast enough..</p>
<p>maybe its just me that i dont have patience, but keep in mind for freshmen readers that neither does the admission readers have patience as well(knock on wood of course) but who knows, they work in mysterious ways.</p>
<p>but for me, i said **** it, ill go bluntly state what youre really looking for and then backup with creative body.</p>
