as per my understanding....though m not a good scorer in essay.... ...not all essays can be started with story...start story before intro....we can write mythologies related stories too....more the examples for different dimensions of the essay....better would be the essay...but should have flow.....i havent seen any personal life based essay from previous essays....the closest one is "my vision of ideal world order"-2001 essay////
but anyway u can think of this essay "I don't leave anything up to chance, I make my own luck."...
