“What I am Thankful For” by Rylee Nitecki*

When someone is thankful, they are grateful and happy about something. You can be thankful for anything and everything.

I am so thankful for my family. If it weren’t for them, I would not be the smart, strong person I am today. I have to be the most thankful for my parents because they have helped me in tough times. My brother, Draven has taught me so many things that we don’t learn in school. My dog, Wicket has always been there for me  when I am sad, happy, or angry. They are all so amazing, and I am so grateful for them.

I am also thankful for my best ffirends, Emma, Josie, Hannah, Daisy, and Makaylee. They have been my friends for a long time. They have stuck with me through everything. Only true friends do things like that for you. They are the best friends anyone could have!

Another thing that I am thankful is everything for is everything that I have. I have a nice house to stay warm in, food to eat, and water to drink. I have nice clothes and a comfortable bed. People don’t usually think to be thankful for this kind of things but you should be because some people don’t have these things.

It matters that you are thankful because if you aren’t you will be spoiled. If you are thankful, you will be a good person!
