I’m Thankful For My Parents When people are thankful they think might think about their hamster or X-Box but, I’m thankful for people really close to me my parents.

The first reason I’m thankful for them is because they listen to me and I know because they tell me what to do to help the problem go away or they tell me what I did was right or wrong. My parents don’t just listen about my problems they listen about anything and if they didn't I think I might explode. That is why having parents who listen is so important. I am also thankful that my parents can provide food, water, and shelter in these tuff times. I don't know how lucky I am until I watch the news. It shows people struggling to keep their jobs and to get food, and, water. Thank goodness my parents have enough money for food, water, and shelter.

Another reason I’m thankful for my parents is because they teach me to stand up for my self and make sure I tell my side of the story so it always gets told. My parents also tell me that if I don't stand up for myself I will just get picked on. Luckily my parents taught me that life lesson so I don't get pushed around. ​  Most importantly all those things have made me the person I am today. Even though I get angry with them and they get angry with me I will always love them and always be thankful for my parents. I have absolutely no clue where out my parents.
