What I am Thankful For

(<---That's Hannah)
I am thankful for a lot of things that I have that I take for granted everyday. The first thing that I am grateful for are my two best friends, Hannah and Lilia. They are always there for me, ya I know it sounds cheesy but its true, when I need them. They both are there whenever I need a hug or someone to talk to about girl troubles. Both of them have also been very supportive of my Olympics dream, always bringing it up when I'm feeling down and feeling like I won't be able to get there. I love them to death and are practically sisters to me, as I am practically a brother to them.

Another thing that I am thankful for are my parents. As this goes without saying, they have always been there for me in good times and bad. They are very supportive of my fencing dream and do anything they can to help me reach this goal. Both of them drive me to fencing and back every night, I am very thankful for that. They also buy me all the fencing equipment I need for tournaments and practice, which I will always be thankful for because fencing gear can add up really fast =/. But I love my parents, and will always be thankful for them.

Of course, these two things aren't the only two things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my house, food to eat, and a wonderful school to go to everyday. I think that sometimes we take everything we have for granted. Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday because the things that we take for granted come into the spotlight as we give thanks for them.
