You might have several floating ideas in mind and arranging them before starting to write the SOP would be of great help.

Start It is often said that a good start can keep the reader glued to your application. If you don’t start the Statement of Purpose in a very interesting way it might be the case that the reader loses interest and moves forward to the next application.
