Day Before Thanksgiving

My glasses are probably one of the most important things to me Auntie, remember I been wearing them since I was three. It’s probably the only reason the boys didn 't always exclude

As kids you always learn that some words are just bad to say publicly, but I’ve always embraced being a four-eyed pridester! Though pridester isn’t exactly a real word, it encompasses all the joy that having an extra set of eyes brings to me daily. However, this journey hasn’t always been easy and glasses can get in the way of daily life. Let’s start with not having glasses equipped with wiper blades. Do you know the angst that I feel every time my glasses become covered with a smoky smog during the winter, summer and rainy days. I go from utilizing four eyes to being visually impaired. And let’s not talk about how many times someone wants to try on your glasses. Like hello? I do need these things so that I won’t run into a wall. Also, let’s not get me started on the cleaning process. Every two seconds I’m breathing onto my lenses with a strong dragon-like breath to wipe them with my t-shirt, blouse, or even my grandma’s hanky. Can you say exhausting? And grandma

Every year before I eat the big Thanksgiving meal, I stop and think about what I’m thankful for. My family, friends, and health are important to me.

Unlike Superman, the first thing I do in the morning is put on my glasses. My black, square framed, -3.50 in my left eye and -3.75 in the left, glasses express who I am. My glasses are apart of me. While most people found wearing glasses a burden or a curse, I found it freeing. I remember my first day of kindergarten. I was introduced to the class as “Mariana, the girl who only speaks Spanish”. I was often excluded from the rest of my classmates and spent time on the playground alone. I didn’t know who I was or what I was destined to be. I tried so hard to fit in but I just couldn’t get anyone to notice me. One morning I came home and told my mother I was having trouble seeing. I was given my first pair of glasses at the age of 9 and I felt

A day before Thanksgiving in 1971 a guy that called himself Dan Cooper boarded the NorthWest Airlines on flight 305. He was in a wearing a dark suit with a black business-like tie. While Dan was in the airplane he opened a brief case and showed the flight attendant a bomb. When the plane landed in Seattle, Dan demanded $200,000 in cash, four parachutes, and food for the crew. He let the passengers off the plane but left three pilots and a flight attendant on board. The crew in the airplane headed South of Seattle while it was dark and drizzling. 45 minutes after takeoff Dan sent the flight attendant to the cockpit while he was putting on the parachute. Dan also tied the money to himself and lowered the back stairs and somewhere in Portland

About a week before Thanksgiving The Magalia Community Church hosts a free turkey dinner for anyone who would like to attend. The Church was built in 1896 and most of the people that go to this annual event are from that era.

I believe people, young to old, should have the day off after Thanksgiving. People are going to be exhausted and unable to work or learn during the day after such a big feast. Also with no one home to eat the Thanksgiving leftovers, the cold food will just go to waste. On Thanksgiving, most people go visit their relatives and need to a day to get back home. The biggest reason, however, is that the day after Thanksgiving is Friday and not much will be gotten done in the one day left before the weekend.

Morning Meeting: Students will walk into the classroom, hang up their bags and jackets then eat their breakfast. Once they have finished eating students, will trace their name then they will raise their hand to have a teacher check it when they have finished. When they have finished tracing their name, while waiting for others to finish they can write in their journals. I will let everyone know that we will be reading a story (Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving by Pil key) so they will need to come join me on the rug. We will all sit down in a circle and I will let them know they will need to turn on their listening ears. After we have read the story I will ask the students to go back to their seats let them know they will be handed

When people think of people with glasses, they usually think they are very intelligent. They don’t realize who's behind those those glasses, but instead, people judge the person by their appearance. In the novel Lord of the Flies, the character Piggy was known as the fat boy with the glasses. All the kids on the island made fun of him for his glasses, but little did the boys know, the glasses help all of them get rescued. Without those glasses, there wouldn’t have been a fire for the pig roast, or a fire that had helped them be saved.

The most delicious meal of the year has got to be on Thanksgiving day. I look forward to it all year and while I love Thanksgiving for other reasons too, food is high up there on the list. I purposely wear some pants that are loose in the waist and a shirt that is forgiving around the stomach. My favorite thing is when I walk into my aunt's house and the smells of scrumptious food creeps in your nose and gives you are warm feeling in your heart. The traditional meal for me every year is a little different from most people's’ meals because I’m extremely picky. So when I round up my plate it consists of a beautiful spiral ham piece cooked to perfection and has a sweet bacon taste that is out of this world. Then I pile on the mash potatoes and

The Black Friday sales during Thanksgiving day will have many buyers seeking for that perfect gift. Some buyers will lose the opportunity if they arrive late. Since mine houseshoes are old, I am requesting for a new pair as a gift. However, on a regular basis, my family are focus on providing gifts for the less fortune than ourselves. We also feel that it is more rewarding in blessing others than receiving. In the midst of the large crowd, I have found that some purchase will be brought online versus going to the department

In science I am learning about the brain and heart, there actually really interesting, did you know that the brain is one of the most important things in your body and it has almost no protection.

My family is thinking about going to Rome or Chile, ether way it will be so fun. So I guess it's true work hard play hard. I want to know what your doing over thanksgiving break so comment me.

“It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year”, they say. The Friday after Thanksgiving is the beginning of the shopping season; one of the busiest seasons of the year. It’s one thing having to be in crowded mall areas but it is another to be jumping on one another fighting over special gifts. There's a much simpler way; instead of going out, dealing with rough crowds, and having to wait long periods of time you could shop at the comfort of your home, online.

When I am confronted with a moral dilemma I take into consideration morality. It is related beliefs about right or wrong. My thought process is moral judgment, it is a statement affirming that an action is right or wrong, and what makes a person or motive good. I believe that the best theory aligns with my own fundamental beliefs about morality is cultural relativism. To illustrate, there are parties what are popular in some countries while in other countries there are not. For example, I am from Cuba where the thanksgiving is not a tradition, when I came to live here in the U.S.; I know about it. In this case I cannot say celebrate thanksgiving is a mistaken or not; it is simply a new tradition. I believe that once I know about right things,

A young boy named Ben has a unique relationship with a pair of glasses which are way too big for him. While sitting in the back of his family car looking extremely sad, he puts on the glasses and seems to have trouble seeing with them. The oversized eyewear pretty much make it impossible for Ben to do just anything with comfort. While walking back to his home, he stumbles while his father supports him and prevents him from falling. Followed by this, many incidents occur like Ben is not able to figure out where the door on his school bus is, glasses falling off his face in karate class, etc. After noticing all these troubles, Ben’s parents take him to Pearle Vision where a heartbreaking twist is revealed. Ben doesn’t have a vision problem at
