Good morning.
I suggest starting in the middle when beginning an essay. Get your information together and organized, then write a quick rough draft with just the basic info. You can go from there and work on your paragraph content and transitions, then wrapping it up with a rough conclusion.
Once you have a rough idea of what your essay is going to look like and what you want to say, you can write your introduction. Writing the intro last makes sense because how are you to write an intro to a paper telling your readers what you are going to tell them if you don't know what you're going to tell them yet? :)
I find that this method works best for me, and I wish you good luck.
