Introduction:
Introduce yourself and give us a general picture of you. Think of a creative
way to begin the essay other than, “My name is —-.“ Then, connect who you are
with your chosen definition. Write a personal definition, not a dictionary
definition. By the time your reader finishes the first paragraph, s/he will
have a basic sense of who you are and which term you will be writing about.
Body Paragraph #1: Share one concrete and specific example that demonstrates
how you are the [term] you described yourself to be. Body paragraphs are 5 – 8
sentences, so tell the mini-story in that amount of space. Give enough detail
so the reader sees the connection between the story and the term that describes
your personality. Body Paragraph #2: Share one concrete and specific example
that demonstrates how you are the [term] you described yourself to be. Body
paragraphs are 5 – 8 sentences, so tell the mini-story in that amount of space.
Give enough detail so the reader sees the connection between the story and the
term that describes your personality. Body Paragraph #3: Share one concrete and
specific example that demonstrates how you are the [term] you described
yourself to be. Body paragraphs are 5 – 8 sentences, so tell the mini-story in
that amount of space. Give enough detail so the reader sees the connection
between the story and the term that describes your personality. Conclusion:
What thoughts do you want to leave your reader with? How can you wrap up the
essay so that you feel satisfied that your reader has, to some degree, a better
understanding of who you are? This equates to five paragraphs: introduction
(1), body paragraphs (2 – 4), and conclusion (5). Guidelines This essay should:

double-spaced in Times New Roman size 12 font and have 1” margins. Include MLA
headings Be a minimum of 500 words long. Be submitted on time. Read the policy
