I need to take time everyday to truly appreciate what I have in my life, even the things I take for granted like having a roof over my head in a neighborhood that I love, a cozy bedroom to call my own, a comfortable bed to sleep on every night, a closet full of clean clothes, delicious food and running water, cars to take me to school and sports, and money to provide me with everything I need in life.

Ever since we where young, most of our parents would remind us to appreciate what we have and that we should realize how luck we are. I remember all the lectures I would receive from my parents and my teachers whenever I acted spoiled or selfish.
