Hypothetical Worst First Line for an application essay Parent Cafe

For a little bit of stress relief for those of us who are parents of seniors looking at the clock counting down to EA deadlines, and inspired by a recent discussion of cliched essay topics in the class of 2019 thread, I challenge you to come up with the worst first line for an essay. I’m thinking something like, “I went on a mission trip to Haiti and I will never see the world the same way again.” But I’m the currently brain dead parent of a senior so I’m sure the rest of you can be much more entertaining. Give me your best worst first line.
