The primary and most significant step is catching the attention of your audience by finding an individual knowledge general enough for creating a feeling of interest of your reflections. Use different stories as a basis for your imagination. The basic is to find general topics with emotions and life experience. As an example, imagine that there is a need to buy a lot of presents on holidays, but you haven’t got enough money. How do you feel? Is it panic or confusion? Use these emotions.

 What about considerations on paper? When you know your primary topic (the New Year, the First Days of College, Passion or something broad and appropriate to attract a larger part of the audience) you can sketch all the ideas. The perfect topic for this kind of essays is broad. So, a variety of your ideas will be perfect too. It is useful to create a plan to control all broad opinions and ideas. You can’t use only the plan. Your essay can’t be so typical and ordinary because you reflect your individual experience. All events can’t be in a definite order.

A sentence “I really want to study, but it is difficult for me to study hard, so I left my home because I want to travel a lot; that has been my dream since early childhood” is a good example. You can show your life experience before the turning point, and explain how the attitude changed after that.
