OK, you start building your essay in the same manner that a builder starts building a house----with a blueprint. In your case this blueprint would be a detailed outline of your essay. You might start, for example, with:
I Introduction
a. Definition of Algebra
b. The origin of Algebra
It's interesting to note that Iraq was credited for the first writings on "al-jabr"
c. A brief history of Algebra.
II Major Topics in Algebra
a Difficult Topics for Me
(1) positive and negative numbers
2) imaginary numbers
(3) Quadratics and Polynomials
b. Less Difficult Topics for Me
Linear Equations
c .etc
III. Why Algebra is Important
a Applications in everyday life
etc, etc, etc
b. As a building block for higher math and science
IV. How to Study Algebra
V etc, etc,
VI
etc
LAST Summary or Conclusion

As an "A" student, you should not need much help in putting together your outline and when you get it together in a manner that suits you, then writing should be easy. The more effort you put into making a clear, detailed outline, the less problems you will have with writing the essay.
Also, you can do all your research off the internet. For example, do a google search on "definitions of Algebra" or "Topics in Algebra" and you can pick and choose.

Good Luck and I hope this helps----ptaylor
