5 things that I am most thankful for are:
ReplyDelete1. My family: Not just my sisters and parents but all my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. They are all very supportive of me, they come to a lot of my sporting events, and they all care for me.
2. My friends: My friends are basically my family too because they are my brothers. I would do anything for any of them and I know that they would do anything for me too.
3. Food: I thankful for food because in some countries and other places around the world they don’t have very much food, so I’m thankful to be blessed with the amounts of food that I have.
4. Hunting: Hunting is my favorite thing to do and in thankful that I grew up in a family that hunts a lot, and I’m able to go hunting whenever I want.
5. A safe community: I’m thankful for our community because it so safe, we rarely have crime and everyone is very friendly. In our community everyone knows everyone so that it another thing im thankful for.
5 things that I am most thankful I don’t have:
1. Cancer: I’ve had relatives and friends who have had to go through cancer and I’m very thankful that I have not had to go through it.
2. Disease: Being healthy and not having any sickness or disease is something im very thankful.
3. Girlfriend: The reason I’m thankful for not having a girlfriend is because I have freedom, if I were to have a girlfriend I would not have the full freedom to do what I want and hang with the boys all the time.
4. A nice car: I would like to have a nice car but I’m thankful I don’t because then I would have the pressure of having to keep it clean and not going on gravel with it. Having a beater car is good because you don’t have that pressure of keeping it clean and those things.
5. Strict parents: My parents are strict but not too bad. Like having parents that make you go home and a certain time or go to bed at a certain would suck to have.

Things I have:
ReplyDeleteMarg
Because she is an awesome sister, and she has taught me that having a sister isn't that bad.
Two families
Most people are thankful for only having one family, I am so thankful hat I have two. It’s awesome and you get twice as much love, and you never feel alone.
My shoes
My shoes makes me not feel ugly, like honestly.
My freedom
I have a lot of opinions, it would be a sad story if I couldn't tell everyone about them. Also I love traveling and not having the freedom (and the money) to do so would suck.
I have two cultures
That is awesome, it is like having two families. You never feel alone.
Things I do not have:
That I am not sick
I am a big complainer, and if I was sick, I would feel bad for everyone, having to listen to me and my complains.
That people I care about aren’t sick
If people around me are sick, I would feel awful and the fact that you don't have the power to take that illness away sucks even more.
That my home country doesn't have war
I love my home country, and I have friends that has a home country where war is going on right now, and I see everyday how much they love their country but they cant visit or say hi to their family that is staying there. War sucks, and if my home country had a war going on, my life wouldn't be complete.
I don't have abusive parents
Having abusing parent are one of the biggest problems, because the society doesn't wanna help or know how to help a child that is abused, which sucks. Also, not trusting your parents is one of the biggest damage that can happen to a child and I am happy that I have parents that loves me and doesn't do any damage to me.
5. Fake friends
I am so thankful that I don't have fake friends because having those sucks, you feel like you always need to watch you back. When I am with people, I want to trust them, and I want them to trust me. If we are going to have a friendship, we better be honest with each other.

I'm thankful for having...
ReplyDelete1. A family that cares about me and supports everything I do
2. Friends that are amazing to have fun with, but are also great teachers
3. Access to clean water and fresh food every single day, it's very easy to take this for granted
4. Having a house to live in. I couldn't imagine what life would be like without a house
5. Technology. It's much easier to take technology for granted. It helps our lives in numerous ways
I'm thankful for not having...
1. Any diseases, sicknesses, or other kinds of physical/mental ailments
2. A bad school. Although I relatively dislike school, I'm very lucky to learn at such a great school district
3. "Enemies". I like to think I have good relations with basically everyone I meet.
4. Abusive parents. I couldn't imagine growing up with the ability to not trust your parents or literally fear them.
5. Bad friends. All of my friends are truly good people, and I thank all of them for help shape me to who I am today.
Cade Wessels, what I'm thankful for...
ReplyDelete1. Good health. This can easily be taken for granted. I am glad to be a healthy human being, and don't have uncontrollable medical problems keeping me from opportunity in life.
2. Great parents. My parents have been the greatest role models to me. I love them and I can't even comprehend how much they love me. I am thankful to be able to model myself after their values.
3. Real friends. Many friendships, especially around teenage years may not be ideal. People are used, and people use each other. I'm glad all my friendships are true, and that I have a good group of people who will always have my back.
4. My town. I couldn't think of another place I'd rather grow up at. Cascade is a great community, and has given so much to me such as education, a job, and opportunity.
5. My dog. Dogs are man's best friend and can be beneficial in many ways. We got a puppy around the start of the school year and she has been wonderful for me and my family. It adds another aspect of positivity to our home, and it's great having someone so happy at the house all the time.
5 things I'm thankful for not having...
1) Poverty. While everyone's inner greed has them wanting more, I need to realize how lucky I am to not live in poverty. I don't have to worry about essentials such as water, food, and clothing.
2) War. I am thankful for how safe we are in the U.S. and am so fortunate to not have to be brought up in a war torn nation.
3) Disease. This is something uncontrollable that hinders many peoples lives. I am thankful to live in a country with great medicine, and that my life can be uninterrupted from any major health issues.
4) Foes. I try and be respectful to everyone I meet. Even if someone is identified as "not cool" I still make sure to be nice to them and talk to them. I don't understand why some people strive to be in the popular crowd when you can get along with everyone, popular or not.
5) Grudges. I'm not perfect but I try to forgive, and I try to not cling to the past. People that are wrapped up with grudges, or wrapped up with "so and so did this" "so and so said this to me" seem to be just angry people in general. You can't have internal peace if you can't lay to rest past external conflicts.
