What I am Thankful For

I am thankful for many things in my life. I am thankful for my parents, my house, and my best friend SamyraHossain. I am thankful for my parents because they have helped me throughout my life. I am also thankful for my little brother Adrian. When he came along, he taught me to be more responsible. Another thing I am thankful for is mytoys. Some children around the world do not have toys. So whenever I get a toy, I always treat it with care. The last thing I am thankful for is my best friend SamyraHossain. Samyra is one of the best friends you could have. One day, when I had no food, Samyra offered me some carrots. Also, Samyra always has your back in a tough situation. I don’t know what I would do without her. One day, I was sad when my mom left for the first day of kindergarten.She saw me crying and came up to me even though she didn’t know me. That’s how I knew she was going to me my best friend!

I am thankful for my parents because they have showed me love and support through the years. My mom helped me learn to read, write, and learn to add and subtract. So basically, she taught me everything I need to know in school. She is one of the reasons I am so successful. She taught me to try my best and to never give up. Even when I don’t get the best grades, she still pushes me to do my best. However, my dad did not teach me school- related stuff. He taught me more about sports and

how to play them. I remember when I was a baby, my mom would be feeding me and my dad would be watching a football game. When I would be finished eating, my dad would take me out from my high chair and put me on his chest. We would watch a Football game and I would laugh every time he yelled “ YES” when his favorite team would win or get a touchdown. He still does the same thing even today. Later as I got older my dad taught me how to play football. I started learning to catch the ball first. I was not so good at it. Sometimes the ball would hit me on my head. Next up we would try to throw the football. My dad and I had to agree that I was so much better at throwing than catching. Now that I am older I am really good at it. I can do a little better at catching however. I really love and appreciate all my parents do for me. Another person I am thankful for is my little brother Adrian. Yes, Adrian can be veryextremelyannoying sometimes but I still really love him. He loves me and I love him we play together and have lots of fun. I am really thankful for him. I love my family!

The next thing that I am thankful for is my house. I am really thankful for my house because it gives me a roof when it is cold and snowing outside. I love my house because it is not to big or not to small. I love my house!

The next thing that I am thankful for is my BFF SamyraHossian. She always has your back when you need it. I am so happy that we have been friends for 6 years now. I really don’t know what I would do without her. I really hope that we stay friends for the rest of our lives!

I hope you enjoyed reading about the things that I am thankful for. All of these things helped me become the successful young lady I am today!
