10 Things I’m Thankful For

1. My mom. I am thankful for my mom because she does so much for me and I always appreciate every little thing she does for me. If I’m sick she always makes me my favorite foods and treats me like a princess. Even when I want to go shopping she’ll take me and we’ll have fun together.
2. My dad. I am thankful for dad because he takes me hiking and keeps me down to earth. He also likes to play a lot of sports with me like tennis and basketball. If I’m bored on a nice summer day he will always be there to take me to the tennis courts.
3. My brother Mike. I am thankful for my brother Mike because even though we bicker a lot we still get along sometimes. If we’re on a family road trip for some reason we can play games and keep each other company.
4. My dog Charlie. I am thankful for Charlie because whenever I’m sad I can always count on Charlie to cheer me up and make me happy. Although he’s a big, furry golden retriever I still love him and can’t wait to see his face in the morning when I get up.
5. My best friend Caroline. I am thankful for Caroline because she always makes me laugh. We’re neighbors and we met when I was 3. We have been friends ever since. Although she is a year younger than me that hasn’t really bothered me because we have always been very tight and we have a ton of inside jokes.
6. My grandma. I am thankful for my grandma because I always have a lot of fun with her whenever I go over to her house. We love going out to eat together because she loves the company and I just like being with my grandma. It’s also very convenient that she lives right across the street from me.
7. Cheer. I am thankful for cheer because it’s always fun to do and expresses my personality. I have met a lot of friends through cheer and they always cheer me up when I see them. Sometimes practices can be really hard and long but in the end it’s all worth it.
8. My rabbit Hammie. I am thankful for Hammie because he has a huge personality and he always makes me smile. Hammie thumps his foot when he is irritated and hops high into the air and clicks his feet together when he is happy. I have had Hammie for about 3 years and he is litter box trained and jumps around our whole house.
9. My guinea pigs Ginger and Sadie. I am thankful for Ginger and Sadie because they are a lot of fun to hold, pet, and to just be around. Ginger is a long haired white and brown female and Sadie is a short haired black and brown male. Both of the guinea pigs squeak when they’re happy or excited.
10. Channel 95.5. I am thankful for channel 95.5 because whenever I am bored or in the car I can always count on 95.5 to play the latest songs. I love most of the songs they play and they have a lot of contests you can participate in or even possibly win.
