@selena44 Yes Poo Guided you correct but a thesis's statement is much more.

Your essay must have a clear focus that you state at the beginning. This will prepare your readers for the information you are about to present.

We call this the thesis statement. Your thesis statement should meet several requirements:
•It must be one sentence.
•It must respond to the prompt.
•It must provide specific details about what you will cover in your essay.

Writing your thesis statement should be your first step in writing your essay. Once you have developed a clear central idea, you can synthesize your research to find the details that are most relevant to your thesis statement. Then you can write the rest of your paper using those supporting details.
