Write an essay explaining the importance of appreciating what you have.

My essay would explain how important my children and grandchildren and their spouses are to me. It would go ahead to show appreciation for my friends, especially my bridge playing buddies. Finally, I'm glad to have a wonderful apartment that appears to be in the woods but is actually in the city.

What do you have that is important to you?

A golden necklace that has my name on it. My birth stone ring. And more. These things are important because these are the stuff given from special people that means a lot to me.

Take some notes on what you want to say.

Write a thesis statement.

The next step is to write the introduction and conclusion.

Finally, proofread and edit and edit and proofread.

The things that are given to me on a special day or a special occasion

What are these things?

Why are they important to you?

Good. You're well on your way to writing your essay.

So what do I do next

Do you understand this beginning statement?

"A thesis statement in an essay is a sentence that explicitly identifies the purpose of the paper or previews its main ideas."

Oh okay
