14B What Are You Thankful For??

            I think that the holiday of Thanksgiving gets overlooked as just a day where it is socially acceptable to eats five days of food in one sitting, but instead of actually reflecting on what they are blessed to have, because some people may not be as lucky as you. For me one I think that I am thankful for is my education. My dream is to one day work in the marketing department for a NHL team, hopefully the Buffalo Sabres, and I know I will never get there without an education. When I feel that the work is just pilling up and feel myself wanting to quit, I remind myself that I can never get my dream job if I don’t preserve on and that I am lucky enough to be able to afford college and should my best to absorb every minute of it that I possibly can.  I am also thankful for my friends; I swear I have the best friends that anyone could possibly have. It is always nice to know that they are there for me whenever I need them, and that they would stop what they are doing to help me. A girl can’t ask for any better friends than that!!

            There is one thing overall that I am the most thankful for, and that is my family. I come from a big Italian family where everybody knows everybody’s business and that does get really annoying, but my family is a blessing to me. If I have a problem I usually go to my parents for advice, but I know that there is always someone in my family who is there to help me when I need it, and if I ask it to stay between us it does, and I know that this is a luxuary that not everyone has. There are always squabbles going on in my family, but whenever someone is in serious trouble, we forget everything and do whatever we can to help each other out, which I think helps keep a family strong and close. So even though we may get under each other’s skin from time to time, my family is something that I am the most thankful for and wouldn’t trade any of them in a heartbeat!!
