My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.
Growing up in San Francisco was not easy. My life has been a up hill battle. I’vealways been a free spirited person. Always loved sometimes loved the wrong people. I grew up in San Francisco. Most people think of San Francisco as this wonderful free love place. Well it’s not this wonderful free love place. Fillmore is what my neighborhood was called. This Fillmore place was a very dark violent place. Many don’t make it out. Either you die young, or you go out on drugs. I always wanted more out of life. I always felt that if I could escape this dark unkind place I would be a better person. Sometimes as a child I would dream of living in a real family setting. You know a father that lived with my mother and I. “A real family not a dysfunctional one”. School has always been a outlet for me. I could go to school and learn, learn, learn. I’ve always been
The first line. It feels like our lot in life is to live in a constant struggle. The struggle. That is what it is. Every day. Will it be good? Bad?- RA, NYC
Throughout the years that I lived in, there has been many bad things happening to me. The only bad thing that I give thanks to were the time when my dad would spank me for very good reasons. At the time I would be crying and hoping he wouldn’t but they were well deserved. With every spank it hurt, I know that, but later on with every mark I had I knew that pain is temporary it may last for a minute or an hour or a day even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take it’s place. While that something is getting back it’s time to come back stronger and better because of it and I’m showing that the world is not a happy and peaceful place no it’s a mean and nasty place and it will beat you on your knees if you let it. I have shown that it hasn’t beat’n me from all the hits it has given me, I was able to look up and get up from that situation because it’s not how hard you hit the world it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward how much pressure you can take and keep moving forward.
“What I’m Thankful For” Are you thankful for something? Well I am. I’m thankful for a roof over my head, good health, and family. Being thankful is when you express your gratitude and relief to others that do a lot for you. You can show someone you're thankful by doing the littlest things. So this Thanksgiving show someone how thankful you are. It doesn’t even have to be Thanksgiving, you can thank someone anyday. You can show thanks by baking cookies for a loved one, or you could even just tell someone thanks. I hope you take what I just told you, and go thank someone, because it’s not that hard. Now I’m going to tell you what I’m thankful for and why.
One reason why I love my family thankful for my family is because they forgive me. I’m really clumsy, I break or drop or spill everything in sight. But they forgive me. Like when I dropped my mom’s favorite picture frame, she forgave me. I am also thankful for them because They love me. Another reason why I thankful for them is because I’m a sore loser, so whenever I lose at something they cheer me up. Like one time I lost a soccer game 1-0 an hour away. When we were driving home my dad bought me a donut and hot chocolate.
One thing that I am thankful for is my family. They are very encouraging and help me do things. They help me keep trying when I want to give up. They also encourage me to do activities that can positively affect me that I don’t want to do. They are also very caring. They make me the food that I like, they help me monitor my blood sugar and overall health, they provide me with shelter, and they buy me fun things like toys or video games. They also pay for my activities, such as sports and Boy Scouts, and they also attend my games or meetings even if they have better things to do. Overall, my family give me many reasons to be thankful for them.
You both are so prominent in my life and I could not be more thankful for that. This year has brought about a lot of challenges, while also many good times. Like, showing up to Disney at six in the morning after not sleeping the night before. Or finding out that I have a high chance of surgery, but you both were there through it all. Thank you for always loving me in the good and the bad times. “You taught me to do the right things. You’ve given me everything I will need to make it through this crazy thing called life. So don’t you worry about me. There’s no way you’ll ever lose me”; YOU’RE STUCK WITH ME, YOU TOO
If it wasn’t for special people in my life-like Ms. Quick, Mr. Saeugling and my parents I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in today. Because of them, I now enjoy reading. Even though I’m still not the best at writing essays, I’m going to continue my writing skills because I want to be a better writer. Now that I look back, I’m just truly grateful and bless to have had people in my life that want to see me to
There’s nothing more important in this world than having a reason and purpose to live. It’s what strives us, it’s what motivates us, it’s what carries us (anaphora). I look forward to life and the things it throws at me for I feel that I am ready. Challenges I faced
Being Thankful I am thankful for a lot of things. I had another chance at a happy and safe life when my country was filled with fear and war. My parents sent me to catholic school to give me a good education, and most importantly I have two loving parents who support me on all my decisions and give me immense love. I am thankful of that. As much as I have things going in my life that I am not happy with, I’m still thankful for everything that my parents have done to protect me and my sister and keep us happy.
Far too often in our selfish-minded culture, we forget to be thankful for the many blessings we have. There is a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food on the table, and I've never gone hungry. I'm thankful that I am homeschooled; I do not have to deal with bullies at school and I am able to have a more flexible schedule so that I have an increased amount of free time to spend with family. I am also thankful for my little sister and my parents who care for me and work hard to provide me with everything I need and want. In addition, I feel grateful for my artistic and musical talent. However, most of all, I am deeply grateful for my entire family, the warmth, love, and companionship they bring, and my relationship with
To begin with, I am thankful for my family. The first reason I am thankful for my family is that they are all hard workers. All my family memebers work really hard to keep everything up and running smooth. Another reason why I am thankful for my family is that they are very dependable. It is a great feeling to know that you have so many people that are by your side at all times. All of my family members are very caring people and I am very lucky to have that. For example, when you into the room everyone asks how you are doing and how your day has been so far. I am very lucky to have such dependable, caring, and hardworking people in my life.
Thank you for all that you do whether it’s the music you make with AFI, Dreamcar, or Blaqk Audio or your compassion for animals you’ve helped me through some of my toughest times and I don’t think I would be here or who I am today if it wasn’t for you you have been a big part of my life and I cannot thank you enough never stop what you’re doing I appreciate you and all you do and to me you will always be my biggest role model
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.
