Personal+Thesis

**Imagine you are to write an essay describing the person you are at your core, detailing your strengths, weaknesses, hopes, fears, dreams, beliefs, concerns, and so on. What would your thesis for this essay look like? It does not need to be just one sentence, though it should not be any longer than a short paragraph. And you need to give careful thought to your self-description so that this thesis is genuinely unique to your own person, not just something generic that could describe any number of people.** **Examples:** **My life centers around relationships with my family, friends, and students. With a mixture of deep introspection leading to philosophical conversations, a religious belief that helping those in need is humankind’s deepest calling, and a desire to lighten the world around me with a hearty laugh now and then, I approach life with a belief that life without meaningful relationships is wasted. –Tim Blue** **I am outgoing and energetic, yet cautious and rational with a very sharp intuitivie sense; I think before I act, but not to the extreme of being boring. My dedication to swimming influences me in ways I never thought it could, and plays a major role in activities I engage in on a daily basis. -Lilly Youngblood**
 * Personal Thesis **

**I do not want to conform to the world, but express myself through my creativity and individuality and to maintain my personal integrity and morals. I find it important to help those in need and I plan to pursue my dreams and aspirations in all aspects of life, both mentally and physically. -Carolyn Corey** __**Write your own personal thesis statement and post it in the discussion tab (see the top of the page) with your name in the "subject" line**__
