What are you thankful for.

I’m thankful for my education without my education I would not be here right now. A lot of us go to school or college. Some people do not have an education. I’m thankful my parents gave me the ability to have the best education

I’m also thankful for my family they love me and take care of me. they help me through the har a good time. They are always there for me. They gave me my strength and courage I have today. The person you see and going to see is because they pushed me to be a good and well-taught person. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be alive I wouldn’t be a person who cared . They love me I love them they are the best and I am so thankful for them. They are always going to have my back.

I’m also thankful for my friends if it wasn’t for my friends I wouldn’t have fun in life. we always need someone we can trust that we know won’t stab us in the back as fake friends do. we need people who have our back other than family because they are not always going to be there. So you need someone to help.

I’m also thankful for a warm roof over my head.plenty of water to drink.not worrying about going hungry .and my health.

We should always be thankful for what you have. Don’t take them for granted. Some people in this world don’t have these things So if you have it don’t take it for granted. Some kids and grown-ups are starving with no warm roof over their head or any warm clothes to wear. So the lesson states to be grateful.

Im thankful for everyone and everything every day,But in this poem there are a few names I want to say.

I am thankful for my mom because she taught me to do good deeds, I am thankful for my father who told me to succeed. 

I thank my parents for everything they do for me deeply, Because without then I wouldn’t be able to see clearly.

My grandma loves me from the bottom of her heart, And without her I wouldn’t be this smart.

You taught me how to be very kind,Without you I would’ve lost my mind.

I”ve always needed you by my sideAnd I’m thankful for you all the time.

Without God I would be nothing,Because you made everything.

God is extremely beautiful, And he makes my life magical.

I thank you for the Thanksgiving food in the fall, I’m thankful for you because you gave us your all.

                                                What am I Thankful for? 

Being Thankful about something is hard. You may not see or feel it but trust me when you write about what you are thankful for, it is difficult. A lot of people say they are Thankful for their families and friends. But being Thankful is actually more than that, maybe not you, since you always  have to just go around the room saying what your Thankful for and not actually realizing it is a big thing to say. People and children this day isn’t even getting the health they need. You can hear this a lot, and it gets annoying but if you were in that position you would want the help, and the word to go around to help you. Now enough about my rant, I would like to tell you what I am Thankful for. 

     The most thing I am thankful for is walking on this earth with a healthy body, typing with my healthy fingers, and using my full charge brain. I am Thankful for seeing the sunlight or maybe not even seeing the sunlight but seeing nature when I wake. I will be that person to say I am really Thankful for my parents even though sometimes I may not like them at times. Besides that, I may be the only one who says this, but I am Thankful to go to a school every day. I do like

school because I feel productive using my brain every minute answering a question, or even using it while my classmates asks me a question. I am Thankful to be going to a school that is really positive, maybe not the students but the school itself.

   Being Thankful to me is showing gratitude meaning  I care for it fiercely. Saying Thank you to a person, in my sense, I think that is you telling the person you are Thankful for them, or thankful that they took their time to help you. Being Thankful is rare, like really rare. To me it is super rare because not every one wants to talk about what they are thankful for. I am Thankful for a lot. Not just the basic, but actually being Thankful. When you are Thankful you have to show it. Not just live it but show it. The reason why you have to show it because you just have to show a person your Thankful for them or for something. You are giving Thanks and you are that is a job to do while you are at Thanksgiving.

I looked up this question “What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday.’’ To me, That would be more easier in life even though I do have the things I am Thankful for. But everyone wants that one thing you actually want and it isn’t about money or anything but you just want it. When you are Thankful you need to show gratitude and attitude. You need to show you are Thankful for what you give thanks to.             

In those following paragraphs, I was talking about being Thankful, what I am Thankful for, and why you need to show you are Thankful for something. I am closing like this because I talked in the beginning how hard it will be when I talk about being Thankful for something, but I got to the end and realized it wasn’t hard. Why? Since you know what you are Thankful for, you know why you are thankful for it, but do you show it, no. Sometimes I don’t even show I am thankful for them because I know that they know I am really Thankful for them. I may not fully answered what I am thankful for, but I am Thankful for everything and everyone.

What are you thankful for?By Samantha Nerelus OLTCA

I am thankful for waking up everyday

A family that I loveMy brain for helping me think

Teachers who love teachingHaving good healthA roof over my headNurturing parentsKindness of othersFaith and foodUnderstanding friendsLove from God

Jamya Fraser 11/18/19  Our Lady of Trust Catholic Academy                                            Grade 6

I am thankful for my whole family but I am especially thankful for these 5 people. Starting with my mom, my mom does a lot of stuff for me in my life and I am thankful for that. My grandma means the world to me because I love to bother her and play around with her and she is nice to me and she makes good food. My grandpa is good at fixing my electronics and is smart at technology. My dad who loves to give me candy. Last but not least my baby brother I love him so much and i'm grateful and thankful for him.

I am also not only thankful for people. I am thankful for having a house to sleep in and also having a family. You have to be thankful for  these things too. You have to be thankful for these things because some people don't have houses to sleep in or sometimes their family abandon them.So you have to be thankful and grateful because all people don't have all that some people have.

I am also thankful for clothing,shoes, and especially my dresses. I am thankful for these stuff some people can't afford any of this stuff. You gotta be grateful for what you got. Let's say you dad got you a dress that you don't like. You have to be grateful for it because he took time out of his day to buy you that dress. He also was nice to buy you a dress.

I am especially thankful having food to eat.I love to eat that is one reason.The next reason is that you should be thankful because some people don't have food to eat. Food is very important. Food is important because it gives you energy. The type of energy it gives you is very useful because it helps you move. If u didn’t have food you would be dragging yourself around, and you would not be healthy.I am thankful for water too. You might think why is she thankful for water you can get water anywhere. Do you wanna guess why? The answer is because half of the people in the world has water but it is very dirty. The

water is not pure clean water. The water is disgusting and sometimes is brown. In conclusion this is what I’m thankful for.

                                       “What I’m Thankful For”: a poem by Perry Jones                       There are many things that we are thankful for in our lives,                   Weather it be our pets, devices, children, or wives.                                    But what I’m thankful for is something that means a lot to me,                     I’m thankful for my wonderful life, my friends, and my family.                         My friends bring me joy and laughter every day,                    We always enjoy our time together as we joke around and play.

I am thankful for God, my family, and my friends

I will be thankful for them till the very end.

I am thankful for the great things I have been given

I am grateful for the life that I am living.

I am thankful for my school, the teachers, and a home

During Thanksgiving no one should be alone

I am thankful for my community, my church and the priest.

Throughout this celebration there should be peace

I am thankful for the opportunities that we are able to receive

If you look outside you will see the falling leaves.

There are so many things to be thankful for I can’t even name them all

As we all know Thanksgiving is in the season that we call fall

While I end this poem I want you to think long and hard about what you are thankful for

And don’t think I’m finish because there might still be more.

So just imagine all the things that you could be giving.

Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

                                                                            Things I Am Thankful For 

I am thankful for my life, family, Nature, God, and Jesus. I am thankful for my life because I wouldn’t be able to see and live a life like Jesus. I’m able to meet new people and nice people.In life I’m able to see new things and learn new things like mountains also pyramids. 

The reason why I’m thankful for my family is because they pay for my education. Another reason why is because they give me shelter. Family is always by your side like if you had a bad day.My parents feed me food and give me water.

I Am thankful for Nature because it gives us oxygen. Nature gives us food like flowers that we could make bread, fruits, and vegetables. It also provides liquids like water, chocolate, and more. Nature provides resources like wood and metal.

Another thing I’m thankful for is God because he created all of earth. Also he loves us all and created us all. We wouldn’t be here if God wasn’t here. God had made nature also landscapes.

I am thankful for Jesus because he is a great example for children and adults. Jesus is a symbol of love for us all. Jesus is our heavenly father. He loves us all and prays to God just like us.

The things that  I'm thankful for are, my mom,dad,sister,brother,grandpa and grandma.The reason why i am thankful for these people is because without them I would not be on earth.My mom and dad support me in every way imaginable.My sister (which is in another state) calls me and helps me with anything that I am bad at in school.My brother buys me games and fun things to play with just so I can keep up my grades exploding through the rooftop!Now you guys might be saying,”but what does your grandma and grandpa do for you?”Well let me get right to that.My grandpa watches over me just in case I go wandering into the streets(which i don't do anymore thankfuly).My grandma on the other hand helps me get ready for school in the morning and makes food but does the dishes a lot(and that's why I help her do the dirty dishes).

My grandma also does a lot of chores around the house.I help her do her chores by helping her fix the bed,helping her sweep,and many more other chores.Some other pairs of things that I am thankful for are ,beverages,computers,earth,paper,teachers and classmates.I’m thankful for food because food gives calories that gives the energy that we need to get through our daily lives.Some beverages are healthy and some are not,but most of them I really enjoy.

Computers are useful in every and anyway way. They help me with daily activities, homework, and sending letters to loved ones or sending important things to people like sending a text, document or a message to the government. The earth is one of my favorite things because the earth has gravity that keeps us from floating off into space, it provides oxygen which we breathe and we all breathe out carbon dioxide, and the earth has natural resources. Paper is another one of my favorites and not my favorite because paper comes from trees and we use trees to breathe. Trees provide oxygen for us to breathe. If there is no trees than we all would probably die without trees.

There is a reason why I like something that almost everyone hates. A teacher. Yes I know you might be saying “ARE YOU INSANE?!?!??!?!?”, but there's a reason why. Teachers help us learn more things we didn't know about that could or will happen in our daily lives. Teachers help us understand the importance of learning.

And last but not least…...God. God is a wonderful person/spirit that helps us be who and what we really are. He gave us a path to take weather to follow his teachings or rather take the ways of Satan. God gave us life at our his own free will. He made us humans because he wanted his creations to know him and to spread the word of the gospel. He cared for us people of God or not. He gave us things that help us to survive and I am thankful for a God who cared and loved us until the end and forever. He was a God who never turned his back on to people, leaving them into the dust lonely. God is a person I admire everyday.

                                                  What I am Thankful for…   

                                  

     I have many reasons to be thankful in life. I am very thankful to God for helping my mother to carry me for nine months and deliver me safely. I am thankful for my good health, my family, and my friends. I am also thankful for having the opportunity to eat every day, to have a place to live, and to go to school.

    I am thankful for my good health because many people are suffering with different kind of illnesses. I pray to God to heal them. I am thankful for my family because I am living with both of my parents and my older brother. I am also surrounded by other relatives who love me. Some kids are not fortunate to have a complete family. I have a wonderful supportive family. They have helped me with everything I need to succeed. My family is always there to encourage me to follow my dreams and do well in school.

   I am thankful for my friends because I can talk to them and they won’t judge me. My friends are the best. They always listen to my jokes funny or not. They are honest with me. I am thankful that I can count on them to play video games with.

    I am also grateful for having the opportunity to eat every day because I feel bad to watch the channel on TV that shows kids who are starving. I am blessed that I always have food in my house and I never had to go to bed hungry. I am thankful that after school, I have my house to go to everyday. A lot of people are homeless. I appreciate having the opportunity to go to school especially in a Catholic School. I am thankful for the teachers who are teaching us the knowledge to grow and guiding us to stay on the right track.

    Finally, I appreciate everything that I am blessed with in my life and all the opportunities I have. I am especially thankful for my health, my family and my friends. Without my health, I would not have been able to move around by myself.  I appreciate the love my family and friends have given me.

There are many things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my parents, my little sister, Maya, my friends, God, and my stuffed dog. They are all special to me in different ways and I adore them all. They have all helped me overcome different things in different ways and are always there for me.

My parents have been with me from the very beginning and they have always showered me with love and support. I cannot remember a time that they were not there for me and were not on my side. My mom places a huge emphasis on my education and is always making sure I do my best. My dad always makes sure that we are safe and protected while constantly loving us.

My little sister, Maya, might be my favorite person in my life. She is the funniest person ever and when I feel alone, she is always there to be my best friend and put a smile on my face. Maya is very smart and is always doing well in her school. The best thing about our relationship is that no matter how mad we get at each other, we still love each other; and she still loves me.

Even though I move to different schools a lot, there are certain friends that I will never forget. In second grade I will never forget my friends Janet and Jordyn who could always find a way to make the bad times seem good. In fourth grade, I will never forget my friends Nyla, Kayla, Marissa, Tori, Dominique and Helene who loved me no matter how weird I was. Here I will never forget Christina, Allison, and Lauren who have been my best friends and have never made me feel left out or that they do not like me.

Lots of people may think that once you are ten you are too old to have a stuffed animal; not for me. My stuffed dog, Bubbles, is my favorite stuffed animal. I have had him since I was a baby and he has always been a real dog to me. My apartment does not allow pets and I am allergic to dogs so I can always pretend he is my real dog.

Finally, I am thankful for God. He is forgiving and loving. These are a few of the things that I am thankful for. I am so happy that they are in my life and I love all of them. I do not know what my life would have been like if they were not there.

These games help me communicate to other people that are not in my country or around me. I could also communicate with friends from school. 

I am also thankful for my teachers because they teach me something I didn't know before or understand.For example I learned how to use a map, how to correctly write an essay, how to use a periodic table and how to multiply and divide decimals.

I am also thankful for my parents because they brought me into this world and now they care for me, pay my school, they make me the food that I eat and they buy the clothes that I wear.They buy the stuff that I need for school such as my backpacks, rulers, folders and etc.They are the reason that I can come to school and be up to date with all my shots and doctor appointments. 

Lastly, I am thankful for the friends that I have, I am thankful for this because my friends are one of the best things that I have. They give me my self confidence and they support me in any way they could. They try to make me feel better if anything bad has happened.

What I am thankful for:     Thanksgiving Day reminds me of who and what I’m thankful for in my life. I am thankful for my family -(Mom,Dad,Uncle,Aunt,sister,brothers,Grandma,Grandpa, and cousins.)  In addition, I am thankful for my friends and teachers. There are several reasons why I am thankful for them.     First, I am thankful for my parents because they buy me things like clothes, feed me, and take me places. They  also pay tuition, and give me pocket money to take to school for snacks almost everyday. My Grandmother on the other hand, cooks food for my family when my mom is busy and takes me to church sometimes. My cousins play with me

when they come to my house and we play inside games together.     Second, I am thankful for my teachers. I am thankful for them because they give me extra credit to improve my grades, take me on school trips to learn and have fun. Another reason why I am thankful for them is that they teach me new lessons. They also make sure that I am not being bullied in class.     Third, I am thankful for my friends. We play together on the weekends and on vacation. They play video games with me sometimes. Our video games that we like to play together  are Fortnite, Call of duty, and NBA 2k20. Some of my other friends play basketball with me too.      Finally, I am thankful for my family, teachers, and friends. My family takes very good care of me by providing the things that I need. In addition, my

teachers teach me new and interesting things while my friends keep me feeling happy and entertained.

Thanksgiving is about being thankful. I am thankful for celebrating with my Family on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving isn’t about celebrating with your family, it is also about thanking God for what he has done on Thanksgiving. God is also thankful for having us as a follower. We are all thankful for each other and so is God. 

Thanksgiving is when all of us sits at the table and thank God for this wonderful food that he gave us for celebrating. Turkeys are another example of Thanksgiving. Turkeys are yummy and good, and all the food at Thanksgiving. I am also thankful for shelter, Family, and home. Shelter is important because you have your own family.

    God is ready to celebrate with you for a new year for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is really fun because you get to tell everyone around the table why you feel thankful.We are all ready to celebrate another year for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving  is a part of being thankful because we be thankful for what God has done for us. I am also thankful for my friends,teachers and Family.

Being thankful is a big thing! For example, if your mom tells you  ‘What are you thankful for?’, you will say ‘I am thankful for my family to celebrate with me on Thanksgiving!’. That was just an example of being thankful. I am always thankful for my family and friends. We are thankful for anything, even God is thankful for us. 

The last thing that i am thankful is my pet fish. My fish are starting to grow up now in a new year of being thankful. Dear God, thank you for everything that you made for everyone  that is being thankful.

I am Thankful for…..God, my family, my friends, and my teachers. I am thankful for a roof over my head and an affectionate, loving, and caring family. I am also thankful to have great health, and to be able to see and hear.

I am grateful to have these things in my life because there are so many people in this world who are not as fortunate as me and that’s why I’m so grateful for the life I have. I am grateful for my family because they care and cherish me all the time. With my family comes memories, laughs, hugs, adventures, and  priceless moments that I will never forget. My whole family and I are selfless, we care about each other so much and I’m very grateful to have that bond with them. I am very thankful for my family and I don't know what I would do without them.

I am thankful for God because he makes me wake up every single morning and made every single person on this earth. He gave me the opportunity to get an education and amazing, intelligent, and smart teachers to educate me. I am thankful that God made laughter in this world because without laughter the world would be a sad and miserable place. I am also thankful that  God made time, although we don’t think there’s enough of it, we should definitely not take time for granted. I am thankful that God allows us to make mistakes not just to learn from them but to help others too.

I am thankful for my Kayla, Jordin, Sarah, Allison, Lauryn and Layna because they are wonderful, brave, supportive, kind, understanding, and caring friends. I am very grateful for my friends because we bond and always help each other. Even when we have our ups and downs, we always find a way to solve the problem. We as friends think it’s the quality of friendship, not the

quantity. I am thankful to have friends like them because we encourage, inspire, and believe in each other. Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated on various dates in the United States, Canada, some of the Caribbean islands, and Liberia. On Thanksgiving most people say what they're thankful for. Now thank you for listening to what I’m thankful for.

                                                 What I am thankful for

I am thankful  for…My family, because they take care of me. When I feel miserable, my brothers cheer me

up. When I’m hungry my mother fills me up. My father pays for my school so I could learn.  My grandparents tell me stories when they were in their Childhood.

     We as friends, watch each other succeed and cheer each other when we fail. We care for each other so much. Also when I fall, they help me up. They don’t judge me by how I look, what I say, or what I wear. We have so much together, we laugh, tell jokes,and tell Stories. They are always by my side.

My teachers, because they help me accomplish my goals to get to Highschool. They help me get better grades. They all exercise my brain to be better in life. If I fail, they’re always by my side to help me learn what I did not get. As I grow I get better in life, all because of my teachers help.

My life, because each day I wake up, I hear the birds chirp as the Sun   rises. When I walk on the Beach  I hear the Ocean whisper my name.  As the sun sets the stars appear in the sky. Then sleep silently, and dream.  That is what I am thankful for.

God, because he made the world and my family and friends. My wonderful school and siblings. Trees and the oceans and everything around me. I also am thankful for Jesus because he died for us to live.

What am I thankful for ?

I am thankful for my parents and for everything they have done for me as for the impact they had on my life with paying for education, making sure I have clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and making sure that there is food on the table for us to eat. Also I’m thankful that my parents can afford most things nowadays because when they were growing up their family couldn’t afford food, clothes, and etc so I thank them for everything they have done. 

I am also thankful for my siblings for what they have done giving me advice for my problems and how to solve it. Also I thank them for looking out for me making sure that I’m safe wherever I am and I also wanna thank them for being good role models for me to look up to them and for them to continue being good role models and for them not to be a bad role model so they won’t think by the foolish way they are acting I will connect to that.      

     I’m also thankful for my teachers and faculty of my school for providing students a great education and making fun school events possible because without them our school wouldn’t be the same. Also I thank the teachers for preparing us for the big world in front of us and helping us manage what we can do with

ourselves; and making us feel like family to one another and making us feel safe everyday at school.

   I’m also thankful for living the lifestyle I live because I can learn, maintain, and build my lifestyle so I can achieve the goals I have in life so I can make a living out of it. Also I’m thankful because I only have one life so anything I do must count and I try my hardest to be what I want to be and set the example I need to set for other people to follow in a good way.

  I’m thankful for God; I’m thankful for God because he created me and gave me a chance at life to do the best I can. I’m also thankful for God because all of my lucky times and blessing and future blessing will all be from him making the pathway for me to follow and obey what to do. Also I’m thankful for God because just for him watching over me and other people making them safe.

Well let me help guys think about it. It is six days before Thanksgiving and I don't know if people are really thankful for stuff in my opinion. Everyone is excited to buy a turkey and so many more things for thanksgiving. But are they really thankful about? Well we have to see.   

Every year my family would have a big dinner for Thanksgiving. We have our Christmas tree up, decoration, and such more. But before we eat, my family  needs to have a full piece of paper. What they thankful for Thanksgiving. Every single person in the family does it because it such a great tradition. Since I was little my parents would always tell how I should be grateful for. But I thought they were just telling me, and every since now this tradition is one of my favorites. Because

you get to tell your parents what your grateful and how does it make you feel. 

Well Since it is  November I have been seeing people treating other people badly and it breaks my heart to see it. When I go outside the street or somewhere I see homeless people dying to get food or money anywhere just so they don't starve, and even more people. Me and my family always feel bad for them but we can do a lot of things for them example: feed the poor, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, and such more

This year is going to be the year that I can help people feel more loving and worth it. Well did you like my part of why is it important to be thankful? Or why you should be thankful?
