Trigger Sentence
In some funny way, sometimes you cannot kick a key and start an essay for days in a row till you run into an original, captivating sentence that makes a really good preamble. I call such a preamble a "trigger" (borrowed the invention of someone else ;) A good, self-explaining word in many ways. It triggers you to pour all your thoughts out on paper in one mighty stream after many hours of painful silence and triggers your reader to follow you right out to the last detail.
My first ever realization of what a trigger sentence means came from reading a sample essay published by current student of Wharton&SAIS, Alex Fleming. Check it here:

In terms of capturing attention, an essay written by qzoink, found in Hobbes' blog, is the best piece of applicant's literature I have ever read:

Thanks for the links :)
Read all Flemming essays, and... is it me or his 3rd essay indeed seems taken from some old film? I know the ones with "culture shock" are hard to write...
