1. Yes. The essay has a descriptive tittle which explains how tough situations in life are responsible for making one resilient to challenges.

2. The essay has descriptive subtitles on the life and events that shaped a tough individual and an achiever.

3. The essay contains an introduction which describes the entire information the writer wants to pass across. This starts with the description of how the writer has been determined in life to achieve the set goals. The circumstances in the neighborhood, family traditions or the limitations faced were not deterrence to any of the life set achievements. As a result, the writer starts by recalling how life has been difficult not just as a child but as a teen and as adulthood knocks there can only be greater determination. This is followed by a description of the order in which the main events affecting the life of the writer will be described. The person life has molded her to become and the life she is living are as a result of the interplay of the events that took place due to family traditions and the circumstances of the neighborhoods. This means to succeed there are a number of challenges the writer had to overcome some of which were difficult to endure. However, with determination and the right attitude there is success and the far she has come makes her proud of the efforts.

4. The thesis statement in this essay is not clear. It is long and lacks concise framework. On the other hand, it has a central idea upon which it rotates. From the thesis statement, the writer is clear to focus on the main events that have taken place in her life so as to illustrate her topic on how tough events result into tougher individuals. For this reason, she chose to describe her background. This is so as to show how from the beginning there were limitations to overcome and therefore needed one to develop a thick skin to be able to make it in life. Secondly, she chose to describe the neighborhood. This is a deliberate attempt to make sure the reader understands the kind of influence and the environment she had to live in. the difficulties of the neighborhood required a hard person so as to make it in life. Thirdly is the description of her personal effort to succeed. It was a decision she made and it was not easy in the environment she existed in. as a result she chose to describe the events to show how resilient she had become to conquer and make it in life. Lastly is the description of how proud she is of the tough person she became after discovering the kind of environment she was presented with.

5. Yes. This essay has a central idea on how the events in her life changed and the lessons she learned on different occasions. First of all, she discovered after seeing that the people always talked bad about the neighborhood that she could benefit on the positive aspects. For this reason she concentrated on the positivity and not the negatives. These included bicycle riding, horse riding and also sports. This is an aspect that helped her remain focused and pursue the dreams of her life. This is because although there were difficulties the best way to deal with them as she learnt was to look for solutions. This is the reason why she chose to work to support her college education as opposed to taking no action and remaining at home. The step taken was the reason she became better than before. Secondly, from the events happening in her life, she learnt to make the right choice. With inner strength she learnt to overcome all the challenges and without complaining. As such, becoming successful is easier for her.

6. Yes. The essay has many examples to support the main ideas. For example, when the writer talks about her neighborhood, she describes how it is and gives several examples that make us understand her point. First of all, it is a place that is described as dangerous. It is full of drug users and crime is at the door step just the same way two people were arguing at their compound and they could not know the fate after one pulled a gun. Secondly, she describes her family well to an extent the poverty they live in is seen. First of all is on the issue of sharing the phone with the sister which she rarely handled. Secondly the request for a personal phone from the parents is met with rejection. She is also forced to work in a corn factory so that she can support her education. These examples are a good way to create a vivid mental picture and understand the toughness that made her a tough individual in life.

7. No. the conclusion is not informing enough. The writer should have described the main ideas in a summary form in the conclusion. This helps the reader to be able to understand in a summary form the essay and the main points. However she has described her feelings about the entire series of tough events that took place in a live. At the end she describes how these are a challenger in life in every situation and hence we expect that her future plans are to achieve better and greater heights to continue becoming better in everything she does.
