November is a great time to show your faith, especially because of Thanksgiving. During this holiday we give thanks for the harvests and food that is provided for us. There are so many things to be grateful for. The most common things to be grateful for are family, friends, and multiple other things. Thanksgiving is a great time to remember and reflect upon all things you are grateful for.
The five things that I am grateful for are my mom, my dad, my coaches, my sister, and my friends. I am grateful for my mom, because she is always there for me when I need her. She is my shoulder to cry on, and my listening ear. My dad has always been there to push me in the sports that I do. He has also been my helping hand in every activity I’m involved in. I’m grateful for my coaches because they have always helped me improve in the sports I do, and they have helped me to become better both mentally and physically. My sister has always been someone I can go to for advice. She’s always there to cheer me on and be my supporter. I am grateful for my friends because they always help me with school. If I don’t understand something or if I don’t want to do something, they always encourage me to try my best and get it done.
