Hello, the article was not included and I could not get it online. But to help you answer this question, you need to know what a thesis is:

A thesis statement, usually located at the introductory part of a text expresses the main point of argument that the author puts forward.

So, to identify the thesis of this section, identify an arguable point made by the author of the text. Then, look for experiences, examples, or facts that he uses to support this point.
