Essential Question 14

Write 3 paragraphs about things that you are thankful. One for school, one for family and one for community.

I am thankful for a lot of things in my life, and one of those things is school. Most kids don't like school very much, or it is hard for them, but I really enjoy school. School isn't always easy for me, but I'm very thankful that it is a part of my life. School is where you can learn, where you further your knowledge, and even where you meet your friends. Some places don't provide the opportunity to attend a public school, and that is honestly very sad to me. I am just thankful that I can go to school and learn, and further my education for the future.

Another thing I am thankful for is my family. Your family are the people that you can count on when no one else is there. No family is perfect, and mine surely won't ever be. But, I am very thankful for each person in my family. Without my grandparents love and support, I wouldn't be where I am today. They push me to do my best, but love me when things get hard. They never give up on me, and are always there when I need them. This is why I am very thankful for my family.

I am also thankful for my community. Things are getting harder today in life. Most people don't have as much as others, and can only count on those in the community to reach out to for help. I am thankful for our community, because although there aren't many people out there who would stop and help, in our town, well in West Virginia it seems, that people are more friendly and willing to lend a helping hand when someone needs it. I have helped multiple times with a church group to provide food to people who needed it, gave christmas boxes to kids across seas who wouldn't have had presents otherwise, and even served thanksgiving dinners that were held there for people who had no family anymore. Being a part of things like this really opened my eyes. I know those people really appreciated part of our community coming together to help them, and so did I.
