These last two years have been very unprecedented. Despite what has happened to our world, it is important to still look at the positive outlook on things. One way to be able to do so is to remember things that we are thankful for.

Here is a list of things that I am thankful and grateful for:

1. My beautiful family. They are my driving force in life.

2. My students: each day when I come to work, I am excited to see them and to work together to ensure that they are being successful, helped, supported and safe.

3. A roof over my head, food on my table, and my health: three things that at times we can take for granted.

4. My friends who are supportive and love me for who I am.

5. The setbacks in my life because they have formed me and made me stronger.
