Commentary Thesis Paragraph (Introduction)

Tolerance can make you a successful millionaire. Tolerance is central to success; tolerance is the essence of dealing with common problems; tolerance is crucial in the workplace; and tolerance is the basis of individuals' everyday lives. One common phenomenon that I have observed at UCF (the University of Central Florida) is individuals struggling to tolerate "strange" roommates. Individuals may struggle to tolerate their roommates based upon many common issues. Issues such as drug and alcohol use, cleanliness, conflicting values, morals, and habits depending upon the way in which the individual was raised, and many others that may include noise, sleeping times, partying, homosexuality, pets, invasion of privacy, etc. Since tolerance is vital to overcoming obstacles in everyday life, learning to deal with something as simple as a "strange" roommate is key to learning the basic skills of tolerance; for with tolerance comes concentration and the ability ti focus on what is at task, whether that task be studying for a class, making an important counter-argument at a press conference, or simply attempting to fall asleep. Learning to deal with a "strange" roommate may teach you how crucial tolerance is in everyday life trough it's endless number of applications.
