There are so many things in life that I am very thankful for that I feel as though I share with everyone like my family and friends, having a roof over my head, being provided with food to eat whenever I’m hungry, clean water and having access to an education. However, there are some things that I feel I don’t give as much thanks for as I should. I’m thankful that God has given me the strength to stand here today and share my feelings to people because this is something I never could’ve imagined I would’ve been able to do. I’m thankful that God has gifted me with resilience and perseverance through situations I thought I’d never make it out of. I’m thankful that through everything I know I’m not alone because he’s always there. I’m thankful that God has helped the people I care about in ways they may not even be aware of yet. I’m thankful for the things I enjoy doing like singing and dancing and exploring different ways of expressionism. I’m thankful for all of the little things like chocolate and watermelon. I’m very thankful for my glasses and my clothes and shoes. I’m thankful for all the things that don’t instantly come to mind when I think of the word gratitude because they all mean so much to me in different ways.
