Thanksgiving is almost here folks, and for most people the month of November means thinking a little bit more about what they are grateful for. Some people focus on family and friends, while others focus on material things that they have.
A lot of people use different social mediums to show their gratitude throughout the month, such as the Facebook gratitude challenge, the Facebook "say thanks" videos, or tweeting out things we are grateful for. With all of these different ways to show gratitude, I thought I would add to it with some things I am grateful for.
I am thankful that I was born in America where I have the freedom to choose who I want to become. I don't have to do something because my parents do it, or because society thinks I should. I can move wherever and whenever I want to (just as long as I have the money to do so).
I am actually grateful for being short. I know it may sound crazy, but I like the height that I am, because the world is a huge adventure just waiting to happen. If I were taller, the world wouldn't be as big, and probably wouldn't capture my imagination as much as it does, so as a result I am thankful for the fact that I am a vertically impaired person, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I am grateful for the opportunity I have to be in school, and improve my education. School is a struggle not only academically, but financially as well. I am so grateful that I have been fortunate enough to be able to find ways to pay for school, and get my education. A lot of people don't find that and have to work for years to save up to just pay for a semester or two. I am grateful that I had a job in high school to help me get the funds saved up for school.
I am grateful for getting the amazing roommates that I have. One of the scariest things in going away to school is wondering what kind of people you will be living with. You fear that your personalities will totally clash making the entire year a struggle, but when you move in and discover that you are with great people that you can get along with, it is seriously the best feeling in the world.
I am grateful for the classes I got into. I know that classes may not always be overly exciting, but I am glad that I have the ones that I do. Some of them are really easy, and others are hard, but little by little they have the power to help mold me as a person. Each offers a different perspective of the world, and why the subject taught is important in life, and I am so thankful for that variety, because without it, school would not be as fun.
I am so grateful for the amazing friends that I have been blessed with in my life. Each one of them has changed my life in some way, and I am so grateful for those little changes they have helped me to make. We are all different, but for some reason our friendships still work. I have friendships where both of us act and think alike, making us almost seem like twins, and I have other friends who are basically the exact opposite of my personality, but we make it work, and I am so glad that it works out.
I am thankful for all of the people who are willing to help me out in life, especially when they don't have to. People who will see me walking somewhere, and pull over and pick me up, even when I am literally a block away from my destination. It's amazing to think that despite every bad story we hear on the news, there are some amazing people who want to do good things and aren't afraid to take action on it.
I am grateful for the life I have, even if sometimes it gets hard. I am glad that I have the opportunity to grow from both the good and the bad in my life. I am grateful for everything in it, I just may not be quite as grateful in the moment of things. Life has so many things that a person can be grateful for, that it's a little hard to get it all written down, so I guess I will just have to summarize it, by saying that I am grateful for everything in my life.
