@Samurai007: I can definitely see what you mean - having the luxury of doing something like this twice in a lifetime is something I doubt many people would have, and even so going back to the same place wouldn't be for everybody. After doing JET (if I get in) I'll probably be buckling down to things like having a family and starting a business too.
@SSJup81: Be a bit careful with those - at least one of them looks like it wasn't successful, and though I'll probably be eating my words when I have to write my own, some of them seem really... boring? But even seeing examples that aren't all shining examples is still useful.
I think having a strong, different opening statement is important to set you apart from the rest right away... that's what I always used to do in highschool essays anyway. Damn it's been so long since I've had to write anything like this!
