i need this essay to be revised for my final portfolio for the class using the feedback i recieved from my proffessor which is all the way at the bottom of the instructions.
this is the essay rubric 
1. Recount a specific incident
2. You may choose to include background information, but the essay should focus on a short
amount of time during which you learned something [don’t tell us everything; only what is
relevant]
3. SHOW more, TELL less. Help the reader experience the events.
4. Focus on details that are necessary and real (some creativity may be included, but the essay
must be a true, personal story; be selective with details]
5. Include dialogue where possible and beneficial
6. THIS IS NOT A SHORT STORY: THIS IS A NARRATIVE ESSAY. Follow standard essay guidelines such
as thesis or controlling idea [meaning]; topic sentences; organization and transitions;
effective/unified paragraphs; introduction and conclusion [see BR pgs 73-74]
7. MLA essay format is a must [see Course Contents and RW pg 35 & BR pg 487-491] 8. Your writing must be free of grammatical errors.
Topics: These are broad topics. You will need to narrow your focus so that it is workable for you.
Option A:
At one point in your life, you have probably learned something about yourself. Choose a brief, yet memorable, incident in which you experienced a turning point and reveal how you grew or changed as a result of it.
this is the essay feedback i recieved from my proffessor
this is a very meaningful essay with great descriptive writing in it, as well as important insights; pls see below for revision suggestions
good intro and thesis
body par 1 needs a TS that connects it to the thesis
noticed that TSs are missing throughout andthat your essay reads more like a story than a thesis-centered discussion
see “I will never forget” paragraph: is all this detail neccesary to supporting your thesis? the reader loses sight of the paperss purpose
much of the thesis-reevant info seems to be in the “Being bald” par
there is repetition in some places here– read through carefully and revise for this
there is a lot of body info  in the conclusion; it should just be wrapping things up

Pick an issue affecting your future career field, your major field, your community, or anything else that interests you. Whichever option you choose, your assignment is to write an Argumentative Synthesis (a.k.a. research paper) on the issue you have chosen. In other words, you will be making an argument that presents YOUR POSITION (a.k.a. thesis) on the issue. However, you will present your argument within the context of what other people have already written about it. You will also be supporting your argument with evidence that you have found by doing library research. 
Here are the nitty-gritty requirements:
Must be at least six pages. (This does not include the Works Cited/References page, title page, or any other extra material.) Aim for 6-8. If you go over 8, that’s OK, but under 6 is not OK.
Must cite at least five high-quality sources, at least 3 of which must be scholarly, peer-reviewed sources. 
Must be an argument. That means you are taking a position on something and providing evidence to support that position.
Your sources need to be making DIFFERENT arguments. There is no point in having five sources if they are all saying the same thing. Be sure that you include some sources that take a position with which you do NOT agree.
You must acknowledge and address counter-arguments to your position.
Keep all your sources. You must hand in your sources along with the research paper. (Electronic submissions are acceptable.) I will not accept the paper without your sources. Every time you cite a source, I will look it up in your source material to see if you cited it accurately.
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS FINAL RULE. NO SOURCES = NO CREDIT.

Think about a process that has changed dramatically over the course of your life. First, provide a detailed explanation of how the process used to occur, and then explain how this process happens today. Be specific, making sure to include each major step of the process, along with the minor steps within these stages. What has been the significance of this change over time?

Read pp. 71-77 (to the end of first full paragraph on p. 77) of Chapter 2 from Paolo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Published in English in 1970, Pedagogy of the Oppressed presents Freire’s ideas about the problems with traditional models of education. He argues that these traditional models of education have reinforced unfair class distinctions, leading to the oppression of the poor. Here, we read an excerpt from just one small excerpt of the entire work, and, as a result, we will be concentrating simply on Freire’s analysis of what he calls “the banking model” of education.
Freire’s ideas were controversial when they were published, and they continue to be so. It is worth engaging with controversial texts in order to understand how the author makes his/her argument. Rhetorical analysis gives us the tools to do so without feeling threatened by the author’s ideas.

Write an essay profiling a person, group, place, or activity.
You need to decide how to organize your essay. The most common ways are called topical and narrative.
You also need to decide your role as the author. You can write as a spectator or as a participant-observer. If you write as a participant, include a description of your own specific part.
Be sure to include a lot of specific detail. That make your profile come alive for your readers.
notes: 
A profile essay describes the subject with enough detail so that we can picture it.
In the first paragraph, introduce your profile subject in the first sentence. This will that convey the dominant impression—the main point you want your reader to remember.
The remainder of the first paragraph will summarize the main points in the body of your essay. This is a preview of what’s to come.
The body of your essay will follow your organization plan. If you organize by topic, each paragraph will expand a specific point. If you organize by narrative, be sure to not adhere to a strict time sequence.
Pay attention to the lengths of your paragraphs. Long paragraphs are hard to read!
At the end, include a short conclusion paragraph.

just make the personal information believable and in case (I’m from Houston and I work as a student in high school. )
