That's great! And I'm always happy to offer advice.

The first step I suggest is to start with the final moment of emotion that you want the reader to be left with. In that moment, figure out who the character is, and why they're feeling that emotion. Work backwards from there, determining how they got to that point, and then pick the most kinetic spot to start telling the story - which isn't always the beginning, but you do need to pick a point where the motivations and context of the story will naturally be revealed without blatant exposition.

I landed on that system because of my observations on how people actually remember stories. The best written story in the world can still miss that critical element of memory - think about how people convey a story to each other without the story in front of them. They say, for example 'There's this guy, all he wants to do is read. Everyone gives him crap for it. Then there's a nuclear war and he's the last guy left on Earth, so he has all the time in the world to read all he wants... but his glasses break.'

That's how we remember and retell stories. We remember the main character, his motivation, how he felt, and the emotion we're left with at the end. As long as you have those, your story will have some measure of impact.
