My ideas so far....
I seem to be a bit stuck on how I want to work this into my essay completely but I know what my main topic of discussion will be... With this essay I would like to work with the idea of self-reliance. I want to go off of specific ideas of today, such as the media and explain how I think Emerson would react to our current society. I will touch on the points of conforming for others and also use that to play off the point of "imitation is suicide." I can strongly relate to the concepts that Emerson states in his writings and I think that from that I can add personal expericenes to really improve the essay. Such ecxperiences will be from times I have really had noting to fully rely on but myself and I was able to pull through and succeed.

This sounds cool. Something that you might want to think about would maybe be looking at what Emerson says about trusting yourself. Like, "what I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think." That can be a form of self-reliance, and might be something that you would want to add to your essay. Just food for thought.
