top ten things that I am thankful for

1. I am always thankful for my family and how they support me in everything I do and how they care for me and love me. I know they will always be there for me.

2. My amazing friends!! I don't know how I would survive high school without my friends. They are my second family and they always make my life better!

3. I absolutely am thankful for my passion, and that is skating. Skating keeps me active and is how I show what I am good at. I love my girls on the skating team and we are all very close.

4. I am thankful that I have a nice home to live in because a lot of people are homeless and we take it for granted but we are extremely fortunate to have one.

5. My kitty cat is my best friend ever and after a long day I am so blessed and thankful to have my kitty. I love him SO much and am SO happy to have him! I couldn't even explain what I would do without him!

6. I am thankful that I am healthy and do not have any serious health issues unlike other kids my age suffering from terrible diseases. We should be thankful that we do not have to go through what they are going through.

7. No matter how much they bug me, I am thankful for my parents and that they have taken care for me and have given me almost everything I have.

8. This may sound kind of funny but I am thankful for the food and water we have to eat, drink, and live everyday because some children in places do not have little or no food or water. Sometimes they don't eat or drink for days and suffer malnutrition.

9. Now this may sound really funny, but I am actually thankful for the education and knowledge we receive at school and other places to better our lives. Some kids would kill to go to school and learn so we should value our education because as crazy as it sounds, it actually helps us!

10. Now the thing I am most thankful for in this world, is my life. I thank God everyday for waking up everyday because life is precious and truly is worthy of being thankful for everyday.
