Liz's+Thankful+Essay-+Oranization

​Lots of people are thankful for small things. Unlike mine. This thing seems like a crazy thing to be thankful for, but it is really important to lots of people. I 'am thankful for tough times.

I'm thankful for tough times for several reasons. One I learn from it. When my friend has the same experience I know how they feel. Then I can comfert them. I can also use what I leared from that experience in life.

Second of all I get stronger by crying a little bit to get out my saddness or by doing something else so I will forget about it. Another way I get stronger is by remembering my grandpa. Before I was born he died of cancer. I grew up without a regular grandpa. Everything I do reminds me of him. Like for example when I go to the zoo my favorite place is the jungle because my grandpa desined it. He made it hard to forget him.

Last of all I learned that it's o.k to be sad. I learned this from my great grandma dieing it was horrible. I cried myself to sleep. Then there was a funneral. I went. I saw my own great grandpa cry and cry. I put a picture in the cofin. The preacher started talking about it. Then she was buried.

These all made me stronger inside and out. If these things did not happen I would not be the person I'am today. That is why I'am thankful for tough times.
