Kaitlyn's+Thankful+Essay+2

I've been thankful for many things, but this is the thing I’m most thankful for yet it might not be the same as yours. Mine is family. Each of my family members is important. My mom and dad always provide my needs. For example I’m never starved and I always have a roof over my head. They also raised m e. If they didn’t raise me then I wouldn’t be the person I am toda y. Now are things how my brother and sister are important to me or how they help me. My sister helps me by making me feel better. For example when I feel down in the blues my sister is always there to give me a hug and make me feel better. My brother makes me be more of a better person. For example if he hits me I have to be the bigger person and just walk away. They teach me about life. For example they teach me about money. What they teach me is that you shouldn’t spend all your money right as you get it or you won’t have enough money to get something better so instead of spending it you save it. The other thing they teach me about is jobs. For an example they make me do chores and they help me teach myself how to take care of myself when I get older by getting myself ready and getting myself dressed. Finally they support me. They all support me by encouraging me. For example if I was in a race and they saw I was working hard they would say 'keep going' or if I was doing something and it was really hard for me or I couldn’t do and they couldn’t help me do it because it was a class project they would say 'keep trying I know you can do it'. That is how they support me. Was what I am thankful for the same as what you are thankful for? If not that’s ok because everybody is thankful for many things and I am thankful for family.
