Thanksgiving

Throughout your life you may wonder what you are thankful for. Well, here are some of the things I’m thankful for: family, friends, and God. I would like to celebrate these many things during Thanksgiving because they are so special to me. I’ll talk about all the things I’m thankful for.

As you read above, I’m thankful for my family. I can go home to my family when I’ve had a good or bad day. I can tell them all about it and they care. Truthfully, I don’t know what I’d do without my sister, mom, or dad. Another reason I appreciate my family is because we get together during the holidays and have fun together. As you can see, I have a great family!

I’m also thankful for my friends. My friends are very, very nice to me. When I wake up in the morning I feel drowsy. But as soon as I see my friends I feel better. And whenever there is a problem, we talk it out. Sometimes things can get a little out of hand, but my friends and I will always stay together.

Now I’ll tell you about God. God is so much a part of my life because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He helps me make make good decisions and do the right thing. I love God a lot. I read the Bible to keep my faith strong. God is a great part of my life.

As you can see, I have a lot to be thankful for. Now that you know some of the things I’m thankful for, can you think of some of the things you are thankful for?

A Thankful Holiday By: Jackson Browne

In life you should be thankful for several things. My top three, sports, family, and Aptos are, what I enjoy a lot in life. This Thanksgiving I want to remember the joyful and happy things that happened to me.
I love being able to play sports. You get exercise but at the same time you have fun. Sports is my favorite thing to do with family. Almost every day I ask my dad mom or sister if I can play with them. All in all sports is a great part of my life.
I couldn’t imagine my life without family. They are what make me happy. My family warms my heart up with love and happiness. I don’t imagine where I would be right now if I didn’t have family. We spend time together a lot and we love it. I always look forward to the part of the day when we sit down at the dinner table. In life family is unquestionably the top out of my top three.
Last, but not least, is my town, Aptos. Aptos is the background of my life, and the town that keeps me safe. Although Aptos is a small town all, the wonderful things that are in it, in my opinion it is the biggest town in California. It has fun things, and happy things. Aptos is positively my favorite place to be!
All in all, Thanksgiving should be a joyful and exciting holiday. I hope you will remember the happy and wonderful things that happen in your life, like I am this Thanksgiving.

Being Thankful
By Kellie Bellie

Even though books, sports, school, and life are things I’m thankful for, my family, health, nature, and friends are things I’m most thankful for. This Thanksgiving is a day to remember what your really thankful for and I hope to celebrate these things that are important to me.
First of all, I’m thankful for my family. My family is not just a family, my family is the most loving, most caring family in the world. They love me so much, that they can’t even tell me how much they love me. My mom always makes dinner for my family so that we can survive, but that’s because she loves us. They care about me and do things for me, such as making my bed in the morning and making me breakfast. To show my appreciation, sometimes I do things for my wonderful family. Even though my sister does get really mad at me sometimes, I still love her. Whenever I’m at school I begin to miss my family.
The second thing that I show my appreciation to is nature. Every day I like to look at the green plants and the birds that take wings in the blue, clear sky. I’m so glad that there are animals that are alive in this world. The ocean is another part of nature that I’m thankful for. If we didn’t have the ocean, our world would look boring, not beautiful like it does now.
The third thing I really appreciate is my health. Some people die of horrible diseases. If I wasn’t healthy, I would probably die. My health is so important because I want to live and many other reasons. I’m so lucky that I can survive, because some people don’t have good health. I hope that someday everybody has good health.
In conclusion, the very last thing I’m thankful for are my friends. My friends are so loving. I know that they love me because I am their friend. They care about me and miss me when I’m far away. I am always happy when they come over. That is what a friend really is.
To sum it up, the things that I’m thankful for really mean a lot to me. “If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.” Gerald Good

Giving Thanks
By: Kate-O

There are many things in life that I am thankful for. My family, friends, and sports make me happy to be alive. At Thanksgiving, I hope to celebrate these things that are so special to me.

I am very grateful for my big family, when we get together we have so much fun! For Christmas every year, we meet at my grandma and grandpa’s house. Usually, we play a huge game of ultimate frisbee at the beach. My dad is almost always sore afterwards! During the summer, since my grandparents have property at Lake Nacmiento, we go camping. We have a boat and my family and I go water skiing and tubing. All in all, I don’t know what I’d do without my family.

I am so appreciative of my friends. They help cheer me up when I am feeling down. When they are feeling down, I cheer them up too. I love having my friends to encourage me and help me through life.

Sports are very important to me. Having fun, making friends, and exercising are some things I love about sports. Some of my favorite sports to play are softball, soccer, and running. I played in a competitive softball league over the summer, but our team wasn’t very good. This fall I played soccer and scored five goals over the coarse of the season! My mom coaches my running team and we train for a three-mile race in May.

My family, friends, and sports are things in life that make me happy to be alive. Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate life and what we’re thankful for.
