Thesis Statement and Paragraph...

Thesis Statement: The role that both Mrs. Partington and Ms. Johnson played in their students’ lives was to inspire them, to push them beyond their limits, and to show them that they are capable of doing anything they want to do.

Paragraph:  Mrs. Partington was a brand new teacher. She was young and very pretty, but not conceited in any way. She was the kind of woman all the girls aspired to be, and the kind of woman all the boys wanted to marry. Maybe it was her youth that allowed her to connect so easily to all of us, or maybe she just had a gift. But no matter what the cause, she found a way to reach each and every student that she came into contact with. And not all of us were easy. A few students in my class purposefully tried to piss her off. They’d intentionally forget their books, start fights with other kids, ask for a hall pass to use the restroom and then disappear for 30 minutes… you name it. But she took it in strides and managed to tame even the most rebellious students. To this day, she’s the best teacher I’ve ever had.
