I. Tips for Writing Your Thesis Statement

1. Determine what kind of paper you are writing:
• An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts,
evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the
audience.
• An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.
• An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with
specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a
cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper
is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.
If you are writing a text which does not fall under these three categories (ex. a narrative),
a thesis statement somewhere in the first paragraph could still be helpful to your reader.

2. Your thesis statement should be specific—it should cover only what you will discuss
in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.

3. The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper.

4. Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement
to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.

II. Thesis Statement Examples

1. Example of an analytical thesis statement:
An analysis of the college admission process reveals two principal problems facing
counselors: accepting students with high test scores or students with strong
extracurricular backgrounds.
The paper that follows should:
• explain the analysis of the college admission process
• explain the two problems facing admissions counselors

2. Example of an expository (explanatory) thesis statement:
The life of the typical college student is characterized by time spent studying, attending
class, and socializing with peers.
The paper that follows should:
• explain how students spend their time studying, attending class, and socializing with
peers

3. Example of an argumentative thesis statement:
High school graduates should be required to take a year off to pursue community service
projects before entering college in order to increase their maturity and global awareness.
The paper that follows should:
• present an argument and give evidence to support the claim that students should
pursue community projects before entering college

Trust

Is hard for anyone to believe in someone, especially when they betrayed your trust and for certain reason you have to trust them again even though you know you might get the risk again...but when things happen again and again and people never change...the feeling of anger and frustration keep on hitting life...Is getting harder to trust again...Just trust only our self, we might also now how to live...I guess..

What is a Thesis Statement?

(from http://www.writeawriting.com/writers/thesis-statement/)

A thesis statement is the grand opening of a research study or paper or like a cherry on the top of a pastry, it is an indicator for the study, that follows. More precisely it can be defined as “the land mark” for the whole work, since it defines the target that the study intends to arrive at. A thesis statement is the hypothesis that you are going to prove through your study.

Thesis Statement = Main Idea + Body

Scholarly works need a predefined theory with few presumptions in order to proceed. You cannot prove a theory out of thin air. So, a thesis statement provides justifiable grounds to your presumption so that it can be carried for further research, to evaluate for the proposed prospects.
Once you have decided on the outline of your thesis statement, you would proceed with the next steps: introduction, background; review of literature; general design of study, description of variables, research & discussion and conclusion. The main idea of the thesis statement should be made beforehand you delve into active research but, you should write the actual thesis statement only when you have drafted the whole research paper so not to miss being in lieu with the main idea.

LIfe's...

Life won’t be interesting if it’s too easy without any obstacle. I believe every trouble or problem that you face now will decorate your life and made it more meaningful…it will strengthen us and made us somebody in future. Do not care about how others might see you and talk behind you, make up things on your right and wrong, or even ‘attack’ you. Nothing come easy in life. Besides, if you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Make sure every decision you made is without regret…Whatever people says to you...As long as you know what you want...And you know what is right for you then just go for it..It is better to bear your own mistake then bear other people mistake... Sometimes people just have to accept who we are...
