What am I Thankful For
As the Thanksgiving holiday’s approached many began to think of things they are thankful for. Wiser persons contemplated on the topic long before the conducive holiday arrived. Family, material objects and education are a few things that my ears heard from majority of my peers. Though they seem like the typical answer, they are very important to me as well and I couldn’t go a day without them.
Thanksgiving is usually a holiday that people spend with their family. This is apparent because of the love and gratefulness one may have and want to express. I am grateful for my family because of the love that they provide for me as well as the support I receive. As long as a person has family, friends aren’t a need as much as we think. I consider family the root and foundation of everyone life. It because of my family that I receive an education today, participate in so many activities and life a life of accomplishment. With so much they’ve given me and I owe to them, my family has never asked for a dime back in return. For such love and generosity, I am most thankful for my family.
I am also thankful to my family as well as God for allowing me to receive and education. Being at an institution of higher learning is a key to developing skill, leadership and other rolls society has obligated me to possess. Education to not only blacks but black women has not always been given. I place myself in the shoes of young black women who lived 50 and 60 years ago and realize that I am most blessed to receive the gift of education. Some may take college for granted, not realizing the importance it will have on our live and impact the lives of our families. I confess that I am very thankful to one day be a college graduate; education is a key to the next step in life.
As a thank God in many of my prays, I cant help but to say thank you for the ones who care for me the most. This does include family but there are always people on the outside that would give the world to you if you ask for it; I am most blessed to have a few on them in mine. Gratefulness is the only word that can express how I feel about my sister back at home. It sometimes saddens my heart that I am not able to see them when I desire due to distance but I thank God that they are still apart of my life. I have a wonderful best friend who would do through the fire with me if I were too afraid to go alone. My boyfriend is my support system, my friend and an influential person in my life. I have friend that I've met while attending Grambling that will always be in my life. For the people I’ve listed and others that are always there I am most grateful and thankful to God that He has blessed me to live such a wonderful life. I give thanks on everyday and everyone should too.
