This thanksgiving, I was compelled to look back and recall things that I am thankful for. Well I don’t know about you guys, but I am thankful that I made it to senior year. If we looked back we will see that we lost so many of our class mates over the years. Our class size in seventh grade was over 600 students and now, there are only 513 seniors. What happened?!! Anyways, I am just thankful that we are able to go to school free of charge and can be guaranteed safety while in school. (for the most part.)There are so many kids our age all over the world that would give anything to be able to go to school. I sometimes feel guilty when I complain about too much homework or other petty things like that because I know that there are kids who will take Mr. Nguen’s homework six times a day if it means they get the chance to get a solid education. We should be grateful that we have teachers at Mayfair that are willing to stay after school to make sure we understand everything they taught or just to offer us help. I hope that during this thanksgiving season, we will take time to really appreciate all of the things that we have especially all of the food that we got to eat during thanksgiving. I know I was not the only one holding my belly after dinner on Thursday. I ate way too much. I know it might be a bit late but Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Giving thanks

I completely agree with you, I'm so thankful we all got to senior year. It's been such a long journey but I think in the end it will all be worth it!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! To be honest I haven't really considered how grateful children in other parts of the world would be if they got the chance to obtain an education FOR FREE. Everyday I find myself complaining, giving up and sometimes not caring while at school. But from now on I'm going to go with a pep in my step and a smile on my face. I know it may never seem like it but I'm extremely grateful for Mayfair, the teachers, and even my fellow peers. Thanks also to you Grace for bringing this to my attention.
