Thankful

Written by Emily Handwerk

I’m thankful for many things. I’m thankful for my friends, family, and most importantly my teachers. I’m also thankful for everything I have and being able to come to school everyday and having a home. I am also very thankful for my parents and everything that they do.


I am thankful for my friends because they are always there for me whenever I'm sad or whenever I really need a friend. I always talk to them about my problems and they always give me advice on what to do. Whenever I’m confused, they help me, or whenever I’m mad, they help me calm down.


I’m thankful for my family because they are my best friends. Friends and family are almost technically the same thing because they mold me to be the person I am today. Especially my mom, whenever I’m stressed about school, my mom always helps me. Whenever I have a really big test and I’m nervous, my mom helps me study for the test so that I can do good and pass.


The last thing that I’m thankful for is the teachers at Memorial. Whenever I have a problem, Mrs. Silva is always there whenever I need someone to talk to. She gives the best advice and always helps me figure out my problems in life. I am also thankful for Mrs. Shkolar. Whenever I get hurt in gym or something else health related, she always helps and makes me feel better. Mrs. Asprocolas, our principal, is the best! Whenever there is a conflict or problem in school, Mrs. Asprocolas solves the problem and makes everything better.
