What I M Thankful For

When the oldest siblings were able to have jobs they helped my parents with bills at home. My parents never forced them to help but because they always helped us when we were in need my siblings and I always felt like it was our duty to return the good that our parents had done for us. No one complained and no one ever denied my parents when they needed something. To this day my oldest siblings will still

There are so many things to be thankful for in my life. For instance, I am thankful for God giving me the opportunity to live the life I have. I’m also thankful for growing around my family and friends, because they are the ones that have molded my personality.

My parents raised me, their names are Mari and Martin Carrillo, I also have one older his name is Joshua Carrillo. My parents are the reason I am who I am today, They sacrificed so much for me and for my brother, my dad would work all day every day and he would get out of work pretty late. My mom would work during the day and get out at 4 and pick up me and my brother, take us home feed us and then go back to work for another 2 hours and be home by 6. They've always gave up and sacrificed so much for me and my brother to make sure we had food on the table and everything we needed for school and at home.

My mom came from a poor family. Her family didn’t have a lot of money. She was the oldest of five kids. Her mom had to work a lot to provide for all of them. Her mom kicked her out when she was 13. She’s been on her own ever since. She didn’t have any money or a job. She had to stay with a friend. So, she finally found a job when she was 15 and she has been working ever since.

Growing up I came from a family of two sisters and a brother. My parents worked hard to be sure that there was always a roof over our head, food on the table, and clothes on our back. My worked for various companies until he was able to obtain his degree as an electrical technician. Today he maintains his own business known as McGhee Electric. My mother also took on various jobs to make ends meet. She began work as a cosmetologist and

My parents have worked from sunrise to sunset for 22 years now. I have been throught most of it with them. I am aware that I am, where I am because of my parents hard work and dedication to make their dream a reality for my siblings and I to receve a higher eductaion. My parents have tought me very well that

Being thankful for what you already posses is essential for living a happy life, as it is healthy to focus on the things you already have and to not focus on the things others have. In the story “Marigolds” by Eugenia W. Collier and the story “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs, both authors gives examples as to why it is important to be thankful for what you already have, and to not dwell on what others might have that you don't.

My dad has been working as a carpenter for eight straight years. My dad has worked on small simple things to structures like houses that could hurt him. My mother she works on different things for example gift baskets to as a waitress but she doesnt work often because she has to take care of my smaller siblings. Both of my parents have made a lot of sacrifices that i don’t know how i am going to pay them back. Most of the time i think to myself why do they do this how can the put up with us especially with me since i am like the black sheep of the family. Are we really that important to my parents and are we worth it?. My parents only reply with a “yes” and they tell me that when i have my own kids and family i will understand and know how it feels to rise four kids in and environment like this and the economic situation and if we didn't want to feel this much stress to work hard and get stable so we don't have to worry like they did. Even tho i might not know that yet or know what they really went through or how hard it was but i know that they had a hard time raising me and my three other siblings. We also lived in a small trailer yet i still don't know how she managed to fit all of us in that small trailer, get us ready for school, feed us, having us with really nice clothes i don’t know but they managed to and i appreciate it

My parents have always raised me to be grateful for what I have. I live in a safe and wealthy town with a superior education system, I have amazing friends and family, a roof over my head, and proper food and clothing.

Ever since I was a kid, my parents always talk about the hardship they went through to get here. From a house with ten siblings, no electricity, and barely any food, my dad manage to escape poverty and support his family by pursuing his passion in electronics. With his passion, he went to high school without an elementary education and barley passed. Afterwards he went directly into the workforce and continue to educate himself until how he is today.

My parents did not have many options. They come from very poor families and started working at very young ages, not having the opportunity to finish their basic education. They only went back to school to pursue their high school equivalency certificates in their forties (when I was

My family made sacrifices for me when I was in college to become a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). My parents allowed me to stay at home and only work part-time so that I could concentrate on my schoolwork. They provided for me so that I could have a better future and good career. The relationship may not have seemed as profitable for them as myself, but the reward for them was knowing that

Growing up I didn’t always have much; I wasn’t by any means poor, but this being said I also wasn’t rich. My family and I had to often make do with what we had. Now, although after the fact, I’ve begun to finally realize that while I may not have had much money, I was blessed with many other things. I had a mom who could find everything free, a brother who could invent whatever we couldn’t buy, and a sister and dad who could make me laugh about practically anything.

The world can that we live in can be harsh and sad, in the story fly away home by Eve Bunting, my claim is be thankful for what you have. Andrew is the main character and he never gives up hope even though he and his dad don’t have a home, but Andrew is still thankful for people, work, and the airport. The author Eve bunting is telling us to be thankful for what we have and the stuff we take for granted. My first reason to be thankful for what you have is Andrew and his dad have a place to sleep.

I believe there are many traits in life that make you a good person and lead you to live a happy life, but being grateful is one of the best traits you could obtain. Being grateful is one thing I feel many people in our society forget to do. One day I learned to always appreciate what I have instead of what I don’t.
