All essays need three things, an introduction, the content and a conclusion.
The introduction need to, well, introduce what you are writing about, the content tells all about it and the conclusion wraps it up.
Think of it like this:
Intruduction : Tell them what you are going to tell them
Content : Tell them what you want to tell them
Conclusion : Tell them what you have told them
So, you could start like this brief example.
My name is Joe Smith. I am 15 years old and I attend Anytown High School where I have been a pupil for 4 years. I enjoy most sports, going to the movies and hanging around with my friends. I live with my parents and have a brother, Pete who is 17 and a younger sister Sue aged 13. I am about to take my final exams and may favourite subjects at school are (list them). Floowing my exams and, hopefully, with good grades, I intend to make my career in the (state what you want to do) industry.
Content' This should be three or four paragraphs, each one being a 'topic' or 'subject' (Let's imagine you want to be a travel agent)
2nd Paragraph
As I am greatly interested in travel and seeing the world my chosen career would probably be based around that. I have considered applying for a job as and applying to be a Travel Agent or Courier. In order to do this I will need good grades in Geography, English and Maths and an interest in foreign languages would be an advantage. Spanish, French and Japanese may be options but this would be dependant of demand from customers for the kinds of places they would like to visit. It would be necessary for me to be gregarious and good at meeting people so good communication skills both verbally, in writing, on the telephone and by email are essential. I would also need to be able to operate computer equipment as much of the job would entail identifying locations for customers holiday and travel choices and meeting their needs by finding suitable products at a reasonable and acceptable price. It is theredfore important that I concentrate my efforts in obtaining good grades in these fields.
Next Paragraph
I have researched the various companies that provide foreign travel and they range from small, high street businesses that employ just four or five people to large corporations that have branches in every city and large town. Many of them are multi-nationals with offices and branches in several countries. Some of them are linked to their own airline also and have their own representatives at holiday destinations abroad where they liaise locally with chosen hotels and holiday complexes. By joining such an organisation I could open many opportunities for advancement and open the door to foreign travel where i could combine my interest in other countries with my work and thus, literally enjoy the best of both worlds.
Next Paragraph
There are several advantages in following my chosen career. I would have the opportunity to met and make new friends. I would see locations that I have only dreamed about and could never afford to visit. There are chances of rapid advancement if I am diligent and good at my job and, mainly, I would be fulfilling a lifelong ambition. I would be able to help my family finances by donating part of my salary towards Mom's budget and my expertiences abroad could be beneficial towards my sister in her studies.
Conclusion
So there you have it. My life is already mapped out, if you'll forgive the pun, by undertaking what I consider to be an exiting, interesting and lucrative career. It will give me great opportunity to see the world and, who knows, after I have been doing that for a few years I may even be able to open my own Agency and settle back down at home again with my own family, house, children and maybe a dog. That, of course, is a long way of yet and will be fulfilled once I have satisfied my wanderlust.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

The most important thing is to write down the things that you need to include in your essay.
make notes about yourself
then about what levels of education you have completed (what youve done that is outstanding) and levels you are currently completing, and planning to complete.
Now notate some things about your career.
Your first paragraph should be a summary of all these things with a strong thesis statement that is personable, but parallel to your prompt.
Your next paragraph should be the first thing you mentioned in your opening statement Like who you are, then the second should be about your education, and so on. (if you mentioned yourself first, and then education, and then career etc....)
Your closing statement needs to be like your opening paragraph, exept it should close out the essay, and make the reader feel like there isnt any more that he could learn about the topic, where the first paragraph should make the reader want to read your essay.
I hope that this helps some.

I usually tend to start out broadly by introducing the person you are writing the essay about, in this case it would be you. From there outline what you are going to talk about for the introduction. After the introduction go into the body paragraphs and explain/expand your intro. Finally the conclusion is where you wrap up everything. There's two acronyms that you could use to help:
ACE
A= Answer
C= Cite examples
E= Explain
PIE=
P=Proof
I= Information
E=Example
Hope that this helps somewhat.

Start by making an outline on what you want to start saying...
I am a teenage male. I am considered very unique.I am not really like any of my peers, most of my peers are interested in careers that are filled with competition.Some of there plans are becoming a model, musicians, actors, and so many more jobs. I am not afraid of competition I am just not into things of that sort.Talk about why you want to be whatever that is .....You morals and motto's in life...the fact that you are unique...and other things

it needs to at least haa to have 5 paragrphs.
the first one has to make them want to read on 2 to3 sentences.
second one has to tell the first part of what your writing about.
5 to 6 sentences.
third one just tells another part of what your talking about.
the fourth one tells the last part of what your trying to explane.
the fith raps it all up.
good luck
hint: a begging start is like if you want to work in a factory make sounds and then say somthing expressive and then say read on to find out or somthing
