That is not necessarily the case. Oftentimes, these broad statements don't really say anything. And they aren't very interesting. What is a sharp, specific way you can bring the reader into your essay? What can you say that will make them want to read the next line, and the next?

It's also important to break free of the essaying formula where something happened to me, here is how I felt about it, here is how I am better now that lacks any context - or - "I have a story that deserves to be told." Everyone can say that and it's about you, not the reader.

Do some research to support your essay and to show that you're looking beyond your own experience! Think about the quality of your sentences! Jia Tolentino does this really well in the essays in Trick Mirror, which I am currently reading.

Endings matter, too. The ending doesn't have to be perfectly tidy. It can be unresolved as long as it's interesting and has taken the reader somewhere. Anyway, I'm no expert but I am reading submissions and that always makes me think.

Yes, one of the most common issues I address in student writing. Unfortunately it seems to be encouraged in early writing instruction.

It is. The way they teach high school students to write is inane. They have to repeat everything--intros and conclusions over and over again. Ugh ugh ugh!
