Once I was at school and talking with one of my teachers. She was telling me about kids that she used to teach in a public school who had close to nothing. There was one girl who’s entire family lived in a one room apartment and all five kids slept on one mattress. They ate beans for dinner straight out of the pot with their hands. They didn’t have a working toilet either. There was another girl who lived with her grandmother and couldn’t afford clothes, so had to wear her grandmother’s skirt and a t shirt which both were too big for her. To keep her skirt up she would tie a piece of straw around her waist. My teacher was very kind with this girl and felt that she should help her so she gave clothes to the girl that fit her. This year I am thankful for having a nice home and being able to live in a safe environment without having to worry about where my next meal’s going to come from. I hope that this post will inspire people to help others out and not take for granted the things that they have. Happy Thanksgiving!
Cat, I LOVE your Blog!!! I was actually in the same room when the teacher told us those stories. I am very thankful for the some of the same things that you are.
This story has inspired me to realize how lucky I am to have what I have. I have awesome friends, parents who support me, and two wonderful brothers who make me happy. Thanksgiving is all about the four F’s family,friends, food, and football.
That almost made me cry. Great writing; it made me think about how lucky we are. Also, your picture is good and you sourced it. Thumbs up!
Thanks!
This really made me think about how lucky I am. I usually take for granted what I have but right now, after reading this, I feel really thankful. Great writing!
I forgot about how lucky we are compared to other people, although Thanksgiving is coming up. This expresses the luck that we all have. Great job Cat.
Really good! This does remind me to be thankful! Keep writing!
That is a really good story! This story reminds me to be thankful!!
That is really good! When the teacher told us that it was really sad. I’m thankful for the same things you are.
Great Job. I sometimes forget about the people who are not as fortunate and that is very important.
