THESIS

Last sentence of your intro
Photo by Leo Reynolds

Address what someone else would say,

but emphasize why YOU are right. 

Family leads to a satisfying life because you always have someone to lean on, but some people believe money leads to a satisfying life because it can buy you things you want.

Make it clear WHICH you are arguing

I strongly disagree with the fact that some might say pride leads to a satisfying life because family and education have a bigger impact on a person's life.

Some might argue money is most important in having a satisfying life, BUT that argument does not consider the role family has in making one a success.
