You should start it as a hook sentence; something that attracts the reader.
For example, maybe if your hobby is something about sports, perhaps think back where you were about to score a point and there were only about 10 seconds left, but you made it. You could say,
"Ten seconds on the clock, thoughts were racing through my mind as I raced towards the (goal, dunno, I don't like sports.) It seemed as if I wouldn't make it, but in the final countdown, I scored the goal."
Dunno if this helped, I hope it did.
Well, I believe I could answer this question since I am a graphic designer. Just remember to rephrase this a bit please.
1. As a designer, I have learned that your work doesn't speak for itself, you do. You must show/tell people about your work and how you feel about it.
2. Remember your "Why?". When your at the point of almost giving up, think about the purpose of the project or design.
3. Ask for help. When you need it, always ask for help
