Thesis Statement:
While it 's not easy to admit that you 've made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting when you 've made a mistake.
Informal Outline:
I. Introductory Paragraph
While it’s not easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting that you’ve made a mistake. The definition of personal responsibility is "the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one 's actions."
II. Body Paragraph #1
Personal Responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake.
III. Body Paragraph #2
Personal Responsibility is important because everyone makes mistakes.
IV. Body Paragraph #3
The most important reason personal responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake is because it’s easier to correct a mistake if you admit that you’ve made one.
V. Conclusion
In conclusion, although it not easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake for two main reasons. First, everyone one makes mistakes. But most importantly, it’s easier to correct a mistake if you admit you’ve made one.

While it’s not easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake. The definition of personal responsibility is “the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.” (Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary, 2012) Everyone needs to accept responsibility for their own actions or inactions, after all no one is perfect. Even I have made numerous mistakes throughout my life time, but I have never been afraid to admit to any of my mistakes and after I admitted to the mistakes they were easily corrected.
