I am Thankful for...

There are many people and things in life that I am extremely thankful for. I am very thankful for all of the soldiers fighting to protect our country. Without them, I would not feel as safe as I do now. It means so much to me that individuals are willing to fight for their country and protect our lives, even if it means risking their own. However I am most of all thankful for my family and the life I have. I appreciate all that my parents have done for me over the past seventeen years, and I could not ask for more.  They have been more than supportive of the decisions that I have made so far and help me to make it through every struggle. Without them, I would not be half the person I am today. I am also thankful for my mother pushing me to get involved and maintain a high average. Although it could sometimes be a pain, I now am very thankful for all that she pushed me to do because it only betters my chance of getting into the school of my dreams. Not only am I thankful for the family that I was blessed with, but I am also thankful for my life here in American and how fortunate I am. I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful and free country.  I also feel so sorry for those who do not have a family, or home at all and it makes me realize how truly fortunate I am just to simply have a shelter over my head, clothing on my back and fresh food to eat. There are many different things in the world that make me realize how wonderful my life really is. All in all, I am thankful for the chance at life I was given in general.
