BEAUTIFUL

 or What Are You Grateful

have many privileges

each day in my life.

Everything that

is around me

such as

plants, animals, water, mountains, people, air, the list could go on and on

I am

grateful for because it makes the world a better place.

I am especially grate

ful for

my heart and everyone else’s too.

Our hearts give love to each other and help us

to make the right decisions. If we give it our all and put our heart into what we

believe in

,

we can see endurance,

faith, hope, persistence, energ

y, motivation, and

r

eassurance to each other.

With our heart

,

we are all colorful, filled with

personality, and special in many different ways.

Another thing that I am really thank

ful for is my family and friends.

Without them there would only be half of my heart because then

I would

no

t

have someone who cares for me and who

m

I care for as well. I am very grateful

to have amazing and caring parents that are with me everyda

y. I would be lost

without my parents because the

y

love and

support me

greatly

in everything that I

do and

help me to do

anything that I wish so that

I can be the b

est that I can be.

In my family I am also

very

appreciative of my grandparents. Spending time with

my grandparents is really important to me because they can tell me wonderful

stories about my f

amil

y and their childhood

,

and I can

learn about all of the hard

times that

t

hey have gone through. By telling me these many memorable things

,

I

know that they greatly care

for

and love me. My parents and grandparents are

very

important to me but, in addition

to

them,

my supporting friends are

important to me as well

. If I did

no

t have my friends

,

I would be very lonely

because then I would have no one to laugh,

cry, and be with. Friends are very

essential

in my life

,

and I would be very lonely

without them. To

me,By Paige Whistler, grade 6

Everyday I look around myself and each day I see something new and

something old that are all special contributions adding to the world around us.

Each one, no matter what shap

e, color, or personality t

hat he or she

has

is a

special gift to us that all

should be grateful for.

In my life I am grateful for many things but I am especially grateful for my

health because then

I

do not get sick easily and

am able to do all of my fun

filled

activities. If I di

d

no

t do these activities

,

my life w

By exercising

a good amount it keeps my body stronger and it is a good benefit to my health.

Additional

ly

to

this

,

I am grateful for my ability to learn things quickly, get things

done easily

,

and prog

ress swiftly.

This aspect in my life helps me to conquer my

tasks in an orderly matter.

Progressing is a good thing,

but it is not as cru

cial as the right of freedom

. If

we did

no

t have this

in our lives

,

we would not be able to express our creativity

and

our feelings about anything

that is important to us

.

Since we have freedom

everyday in our lives

,

we are able to do activities that many other people and

countries are not allowed to. By expressing ourselves we can make the world a

better place and that i

s

a very important aspect in our

lives when it comes to

help

ing people in countries that are

less fortunate

than we are

.

To me, freedom

and free speech

are not the only thing

s

to be grateful for.

I am very grateful for the roof over my head, the food on m

y table, and how I
