What I'm Thankful For?

by Yessenia Sanchez


If your Catholic or into your own religion or possibly forced to pray , or what have you , you may understand how to be thankful and show it within others. Theses things are taught or learned by parents, siblings, family members, and friends. There is  a saying that everyone knows and many people say "You don't know what you have, until you lose it", I personally like to add in at the end "so be thankful that you have it now than realize it at the end."

I'm thankful that I have a family because many children don't grow up with one, I'm thankful that I have a home to go to, have a bed to lay on, have 3 meals a day to eat. I'm thankful that I have all the things that many children and kids can't have or don't have. I'm also thankful for life and love, because without these two things I wouldn't have been here today, writing in this blog, going to school and enjoying every moment of it, because before you know it it can all be gone.

I'm going to graduate the year 2015, that's in two years and one more school year from now. My high school moments are almost going to be over in just two years! So I have to make the best of it because coming back to theses moments are hard and I have to make them as memorable as possible. Having free access to education from kindergarden to 12th grade is amazing and being able to make friends every new school year is something to be truly thankful for.
