This draft is currently around 360 words. To meet the 750-word requirement, you need to expand your essay. The best way to do this is to look at each sentence and see if you can provide an example or more details. For example, you say, "Patience is one of the most crucial capabilities that paraprofessionals develop during their position." You can expand on this. Why is patience crucial? What might be an example of needing patience? What is the opposite of patience and how is it problematic? Attached you will find a handout related to using details and examples. I think you will find it helpful. Also - your essay can be more than five paragraphs. In fact:
You should start a new paragraph when:
When you begin a new idea or point: New ideas should always start in new paragraphs. If you have an extended idea that spans multiple paragraphs, each new point within that idea should have its own paragraph.
To contrast information or ideas: Separate paragraphs can serve to contrast sides in a debate, different points in an argument, or any other difference.
When your readers need a pause: Breaks between paragraphs function as a short "break" for your readers—adding these in will help your writing be more readable. You would create a break if the paragraph becomes too long or the material is complex.
When you are ending your introduction or starting your conclusion: Your introductory and concluding material should always be in a new paragraph. Many introductions and conclusions have multiple paragraphs depending on their content, length, and the writer's purpose.
Your essay does a great job supporting your thesis statement. Please address the feedback above and the comments on your paper and submit your final draft.
