What are you thankful for? Well, I am thankful for many things, but the three I am really thankful for are, my family, the career center, and the long summer’s I spent with my grandma in Kentucky. These three things are the ones that stand out to me in a long list of things I am thankful for. First, my family is the main thing I am thankful for. One of the reasons I am thankful for them is because I would not be in this world today without them. Another reason is they tell me old stories about when they were little, and I learn how they had to live. The last reason is because, when we all get together for a party there is always something to do and something to laugh about. The second thing I am thankful for is the career center. I am thankful for the career center because, it lets us get away from the everyday hallways of my High School. The second reason is because, we get to make new friends and maybe see old ones that go to different schools. Also, I am thankful for the career center because, class there does not start until 8:20 so I can sleep in a little bit longer. Finally, the third thing that I am mainly thankful for is, all the summer’s I spent at my grandma’s house in Kentucky. I have a lot of reasons I am thankful for this but some of them are that a lot of her friends have birthdays in the summer so I get to help her cook their cake and make their favorite flavor of home made ice cream. Another reason is because, my cousins live in Kentucky and the summer is the only time I can spend time with them. The third reason is we do arts and crafts like, paint my bedroom, and make blankets to give to people for Christmas. In conclusion, three things that I am thankful for are my family because they are really special to me, the career center because it is like a mini vacation from Wren and spending summer’s with my

    Out of all the things I own, I am most thankful of the things that made me who I am now. Last Thanksgiving, I lost my chance to give thanks to a special person of my life, and so I don’t want to loose my chance of giving thanks ever again. I appreciate all that happened from the start of my life till now. I am thankful of being born, thankful for being loved, thankful for being able to write this essay.... But out of all these things I’m thankful of, there are some that I think build my personality the most. Without these, I would not be who I am now. I’m glad of being who I am, and being able to appreciate being who I truely am. There are many others who cannot appreciate themselves and others.

    As Brooks says, “When was the last time you were grateful for the spots on a trout?” (Brooks 5)The first small thing I am thankful for is color. Without color life would be so boring to just be in all black and white all the time. Color shows creativity and individuality. Another thing I am grateful for is dishwashers. Dishwashers have made my life so much easier. When dishes are my chore for the week I can just load and unload the dishwasher opposed to having to hand wash every single dish that had been used. Flash drives are also a big life savor. I never thought to be grateful for them before this assignment. I chose now to be grateful because I have all my pictures saved on a flash drive. If I were to lose that I would lose not only all my pictures, but all the memories that go along with them. Being appreciative for the little things can make you so much happier.
