Why I am Thankful
I’m thankful for my life because I only have one life. If I wasn’t thankful for it, there wouldn’t be a point for life. I am thankful for my life because of my family, my friends, and my rights.
I’m thankful for my life because of my family. If it wasn’t for my family, I wouldn’t be here. Also, they provide for me and give me many luxuries that many others don’t have. Some people don’t have the luxuries and freedoms that I have. I am very grateful for that and what my parents have done.
Another reason why I am thankful for my life is my friends. Sometimes, your family can become too much, and you want to talk to someone else. That is what friends are for. I cherish my friends because they hang out with me. We might do stupid things, but I am glad to have them. Without friends, life would be more dull and depressing. I feel blessed to have friends, and everyone can have them too.
The last reason of why I am thankful for my life is because of my rights. Like me, I live in America. With living here, we get certain rights and freedoms. Like free religion and free speech. I am happy to have these rights, so I can believe what I want to. Most people do not have these rights, but they wish they did. I am thankful of these, so I don’t have to go through a life controlled by a dictator.
In conclusion, I am thankful for my life my parents has given me. I might not get my way, but I am having a better day than others. I think we all need to enjoy our lives, and we need to be thankful for what we have.
