10 Things I am Thankful For

Ten Things I’m Thankful For
1. I am thankful for my parents, They help me out in so many ways. Almost every day of the week my mom drives me to dance, which is thirty minutes away. My mom and dad help me with my math homework if I need it and are there for me if I ever need them.
2. Another thing I am thankful for is dance. My whole life I have danced and I cannot imagine my life without it. I’m grateful to be taking as many classes as I do because dance does get expensive. I have made so many close friends through dancing and my studio is like a family. We do so much together like going to movies and we have parties a lot!
3. I am also thankful for the life that I live. There are some people in the world that aren’t as fortunate as I am and don’t get to live a good life. I’m glad that I go to school to be educated even though sometimes I may not want to go, it is very important to my family and I.
4. I am thankful for not only my health but the health of my family and others. I’m grateful because my health has been very good throughout my whole life and I have not had to suffer like others in the world. The advances that the world has made in the medical field have been amazing and helped cure many people of sickness and prevent sickness for others.
5. I am also thankful for my little sister Hailey. Even though my sister may be four years younger than me, she will always be there for me and will be one of my best friends. She truly is the best sister a person could have. She is one of the nicest and kind people a person could have. I love her to death.
6. I’m thankful for my friends! I am glad to have as many caring and generous friends that I do. They are like part of my family, there are always there if I need to talk and will listen to my problems. My close friends are the ones I help to keep not only throughout my high school years but forever.
7. I’m very thankful for my friend Alyssa. She was my very first buddy at dance and is like a sister to me. She has always been there for me when I needed her the most and I honestly have no idea what life would be like without her. She went off to college this year and things haven’t been the same dance. I was use to seeing her every day but now I only get to see her every couple of weeks but we do talk on the phone a lot. Like I said, I don’t know what I would do without her, she is like the older sister I never had.
8. I am also thankful for food. Without proper nutrition, I would not be healthy. In some places in the world children and adults are dying of hunger. I’m glad that here in America we have local grocery stores to go and buy food for our families.
9. Technology is another thing that I am thankful for. With the technology we have today we can keep in touch with friends and family that live far away or the ones we don’t get to see often. I am fortunate enough to have access to computers, cell phones, and ipods while many children do not.
10. I am also thankful for my cat Cali. She is so sweet and nice. When we first got her when my sister was younger, she would come running to my sister if she was crying and needed help. Sometimes I think that my family spoils her because we buy her a lot of things. She really seems like she is part of my family.
