What Do You Am Thankful For Essay

There are many things to be thankful for: your food, the roof over your head, the fact that compared to most, you live an amazing life. Everyone is thankful for those things, it would be odd if you weren’t. I decided to write about something that surpasses the prior things with flying colors- people who inspire you. The essay is about Malala Yousafzai, my brother Thomas, and Cousin Debbie. All three of those people mean something to me. I am incredibly thankful for each and every one of them.
I am inspired everyday to push forward, even if I feel like giving up. One person that I am thankful for is Malala Yousafzai. She is a girl from Pakistan who has surpassed many hurdles in order to become a female activist for girls rights. She doesn’t

One person that I am truly thankful for is Thomas, my eldest brother. Although we don’t get along every day of the week, I wouldn’t know what to do without him. He set the bar for many things in my life, such as my academics, my sports, and my overall successfulness.

Although she is not my grandma or my aunt, She has somehow managed to find a nestle in my heart that is closer than most. Debbie is the definition of kick butt. She wears the leather, she acquires a great sense of style, red hair, and a very, very witty sense of humor. She has a I’ll-kick-your-butt-but-then-make-you-laugh attitude. If I had to spend an hour talking to someone about something, it would most likely be her. One day we decided to go get our nails done at a local salon, and she couldn’t stop cracking jokes. Trying not to laugh, but miserably failing is the only thing I remember feeling. I feel that when I am old, wrinkly, and sitting in a wheelchair, she is one person I will definitely remember. Every morning that she has slept over the previous night I can always find her sitting on the porch doing her crossword puzzle and drinking coffee. I’m not the only one who has this feeling either. She cracks both my brothers up more than anyone, my parents love her company, and my dogs would rather her pet them than any of the Knobels. Everyone is thankful for Debbie, it's impossible not
