Do you have anything to be thankful for like family, friends, food, or school? I have many things that I
am thankful for. I am thankful for family, Jesus, God, love, friends, water and food. If all these
things and people didn’t exist, none of us would be here today. I think Thanksgiving is an important
event for families because we all get to spend time with each other. Thanksgiving is also a time to be
thankful for everything that is living on Earth today.
Thanksgiving is important to me because I get to spend time with my family like eating dinner together,
talking to each other, and play games like Apples to Apples. I am thankful for my family because they do
so much for me that I want to do something for them. My mom makes sure that I stay healthy, helps me
with homework, cooks dinner, and plays with me. My dad plays with me, teases me, and also makes sure
that I am healthy. My cousin Paige is smart, funny, generous, and fun because she comes up with creative
ideas for us to do. My cousin Kayleen is generous, funny, smart, and helpful.
Two fo the greatest people in the world are Jesus and God. One reason I am thankful for God is that he
created Earth and the people to live on it. The last reason I am thankful for God is that his greatest
son, Jesus, put Jesus on Earth. One reason I am thankful for Jesus is that he died on the cross for our
sins. The second reason I am thankful for Jesus is that he will always be our forever friend. My last
reason is that he will always be with and will always love each and every one of us.

Being Thankful
I’m thankful for hope because I believe good things will happen. Hope is a very special thing to me and
my family because when people hope, it gives them good things to look forward to. I hope a lot. I hope
to encourage my family to help other families on the east coast to fee and donate money for food,
shelter, and clothing. I would like this to happen because of Hurricane Sandy which has taken so much
from so many people. I hope that other families around the eastern United States will donate shelter,
clothing, food and water to others in need to help them survive. I hope that families that have lost
homes can have a happy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Our Country
Our country America represents respect, independence, and amendments. America is a place where people can
vote for who and what we want. I’ thankful for America. America earns and gives respect. America earns
respect from other countries by sending our troops overseas to make their countries safer. Also, other
countries respect America because we are a caring country. We give respect by accepting the differences
of others and promoting respect with people who have different values from our own. America is
definitely a country of independence. American citizens get a say and do what we want unlike other
countries. We also get to vote for who we want for our president or other public offices. America id
definitely a country of freedom. America is a country of amendments that have given us our freedoms. We
always have the opportunity to make our country better. Although times have been sometimes rough,
America is able to come back from bad points and improve on good points. America is a great country to
live in. I love America.

Especially around election time, I think about how important the right to vote is. I am not old enough to
vote and in some ways I can see why kids aren’t allowed to vote. The right to vote was important enough
to make a group of guys start a new country, our country. This was punnishable with death. I wish more
people would vote and not see it as a burden. It is a day off for us school kids at least.
Overall, I am thankful for many things including family, pets, friends and the right to vote.

Do you have anything to be thankful for like family, friends, food, or school? I have many things that I
am thankful for. I am thankful for family, Jesus, God, love, friends, water and food. If all these
things and people didn’t exist, none of us would be here today. I think Thanksgiving is an important
event for families because we all get to spend time with each other. Thanksgiving is also a time to be
thankful for everything that is living on Earth today.
Thanksgiving is important to me because I get to spend time with my family like eating dinner together,
talking to each other, and play games like Apples to Apples. I am thankful for my family because they do
so much for me that I want to do something for them. My mom makes sure that I stay healthy, helps me
with homework, cooks dinner, and plays with me. My dad plays with me, teases me, and also makes sure
that I am healthy. My cousin Paige is smart, funny, generous, and fun because she comes up with creative
ideas for us to do. My cousin Kayleen is generous, funny, smart, and helpful.
Two fo the greatest people in the world are Jesus and God. One reason I am thankful for God is that he
created Earth and the people to live on it. The last reason I am thankful for God is that his greatest
son, Jesus, put Jesus on Earth. One reason I am thankful for Jesus is that he died on the cross for our
sins. The second reason I am thankful for Jesus is that he will always be our forever friend. My last
reason is that he will always be with and will always love each and every one of us.
