“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.” ~ Criss Jami
Criss Jami here has a paradoxical comment on vulnerability, a term that has been so commonly (mis-)understood as weaknesses. Elaborate on the above quote by writing a definition essay of 300-400 words in which you re-define the word “vulnerability,” or “weakness.” Note that you should start your Introductory Paragraph with a traditional understanding of the term and then end it with your thesis statement (your own interpretation of the term, which should be different from the traditional one). Use narration in your Body Section where you support your thesis statement by telling an event or a life story to demonstrate how vulnerability has a new meaning to you. And finally in your Concluding Paragraph, you summarize the main ideas in the previous paragraphs.
