14B Giving Thanks

This semester I am thankful for so many things. It would take me a while to tell you all the things I am thankful for. So here are the main things I am thankful for this year.

The first thing I am thankful for this semester is my college education and Southern Connecticut State University. I originally did not plan on going to Southern. Southern was not my first choice for a college. It was my safety school. I basically applied to southern because they had communication disorders. Now that I have gone here for about 3 months now, I know why southern was and is the right choice for me. Southern has not only taught me information needed to complete courses, but it has also taught me about myself as a human being. I feel like a better person because of southern. I am so thankful for what I have learned and what I will learn my throughout my four years here.

Another thing I am thankful for is good health for me and for all of the members of my family. All of us in my family mainly me, my mom and my grandpa have some sort of health issue. My mom and I both have asthma and my grandpa has a leaky heart valve. This time last year we almost lost my grandpa because he had to have major surgery on his eye and during the surgery his heart stopped. Since then he has been healthy as a horse. My mom and I both have never had asthma attacks of any sorts. I am thankful that both of us can enjoy what we do in life even though we have asthma.

Lastly I am thankful for my family, friends and all of the amazing people I have met so far at Southern. I have met amazing girls on my floor who I feel I can call my best friends for life. The girls on my floor are like my sisters. We have only been living on the same floor for about 3 months now but we are all so close. Everyone in our building is amazed how many of us hang out together in our common room each night to watch tv and do homework. We are all there to support each other. My family I am thankful for because they are always there for me. I miss them when I am at school but I know that I always have them to go home too.

I am thankful for so many more things. So many more things I can’t even explain without this post being a million pages long. I am thankful for my life that I have right now!
