I am thankful for ballet because it is something I have been familiar with all my life, and I enjoy it very much. I have made a lot of friends, and we have gotten very close, with classes Monday through Friday, but also through the Nutcracker and the Spring shows. I feel liked doing ballet helps me calm myself and just focus on doing my best while having fun with my friends.
I am thankful for food because it gives me energy, but also tastes delicious. I love cooking and baking with my sister, and we especially like making vegan desserts for our cousin Phenon, who is vegan. The dessert in the picture is a vegan dessert with coconut, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sunflower seed butter. I enjoy eating food because there are many different kinds and types of food that I can try all round the world, and people are thinking of new ways to cook foods every day.
I am thankful for my cousins, Phenon(left) and Rowan(right), because they are role models for me. Growing up, they were the only cousins I had, and I loved them to death. Even though I only got to see them about three times a year, I cherished the time we got to be together, doing things from making duct tape wallets, to doing makeovers (One of which Rowan had to dress up like a girl). Now, Phenon is in college at The University Of the Arts, in Philadelphia. I miss her a lot while she is gone, but I keep in touch, and she tells me she loves everything about where she is and what she is learning. I learn a lot from my cousins, like responsibility and politeness, but also how to love and be nice to everybody.
I am thankful for my twin sister Fiona. She’s everything I could ever ask for in a sister. Much less a twin. Even though we have separated a ton, going from wearing the same clothes and nobody being able to tell us apart, to Fiona getting highlights, and people thinking we’re not even related, I know we have a special bond that nothing and nobody can break.
I am thankful for books because I love getting taken through the author’s imaginary world and getting sucked into an amazing atmosphere. The words that authors use are like magic. They suck you in and trap you, forcing you to make your way through the wonderful world your imagination creates through the author’s language. I love that there are so many different types of books, and that every book is unique and special.
I am thankful for the moon because if it didn’t exist, we would be drenched in darkness at night. The moon sheds a peaceful light for people at night and helps them find their way, and they can use the light for driving at night. I like all the cycles in the moon phases, because I enjoy looking out the window and seeing a different moon every night. Also, whenever there is a New Moon, I admire nature, knowing that it will come back again the next night.
I am thankful for my parents because they are my life. I owe everything to them, and I am thankful for everything they have taught me in life. I love knowing that they will always be there with me, in my struggles and my accomplishments, and I am very thankful for the beacons they shine to guide me through thick and thin in my life. My parents teach me to always do my best and that I can succeed at anything I put my mind to. I am very thankful that I have such awe-inspiring role models to follow through life and show me how to be the person I want to be.
