Essay help

So I’m starting to look at my college essay. I want to write about my sister with autism and a developmental issue who drives me because she has things she is unable to do (go to college, live on her own) which I can do which make me take advantage of any opportunities I’m given. I always used to sort of brush her off when I was younger or get along with her, but now I see that she is seriously like the sweetest person ever and that I want to make her happy by doing the things she can’t do (sorry for yap). My other sister wrote hers on how she sees her with “rose colored glasses” (as perfect and only seeing good). I really liked this and was sort of thinking about talking about it as a race, one which she constantly fell behind in but still supports me and my other sister but we are almost leaving her behind. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I would begin this writing?Particularly like a first sentence because I am very stuck right now.

Essay Help

Hello! I know this is a big ask but it is very important to me. I am writing an essay for my dream school that is due on February 1. I have so much information I would like to fit into it, but I have been struggling organizing it and making it into an essay that flows smoothly. I was curious if anyone would be willing to read what I have and help me brainstorm how to fix this mess of an essay I currently have. Again, I would like to preface that I know this may be a big ask and I am in no way looking for someone to write my essay for me!! I would just really appreciate some ideas with what I currently have.
