Thank You
Have you ever had the opportunity to say a simple thank you and have let the opportunity pass? Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to make up for the time passed without that simple thank you. I have passed up many opportunities to say thanks, but I’m not going to let this opportunity fall though the cracks. I would like to thank you to my mom, the friends that I have had my whole life, and my principal of six years.
I would like to thank my mom. She has always been there for me, and has stood by my side when I have needed her the most. My mom is truly one of my best friends, and I know that I could tell her anything. She shuttles me wherever I need to go. She puts up with all of my attitude and the crap that I put her through. She sacrificed many things to put me through eleven years of private school. When we moved to Canal she listened to all of my ranting and raving because I thought that this place would be horrible. I love my mom and I always will and I know that she will always love me. Thank you mom for always being on my side.
I would like to thank the group of people that I have hung out with all of my life. I know that these are my true friends, and they will always be there for me. We have all grown up together, and we consider each other family. They have always been there for me. When my uncle johnny died they were by my side. When I would get in trouble, or ...

  • Thanksgiving Poem Thanks By Merwin

    768 Words  | 2 Pages

    Common curtesy has us saying “Thanks” to the point that we may have lost the intentions associated with the response. W.S. Merwin sums up this anomaly in his poem “Thanks”, saying “with nobody listening we are saying thank you” (Merwin 29). We say thanks for so many meaningless things that it no longer carry’s the true intent of the speaker. Instead it is a response to acknowledge the receiver rather than giving true thanks. This repetition allows for questions regarding what are we truly thankful for, and how we make this known to the receiver. Carl Dennis, in his poem, “Thanksgiving Letter From Harry”, struggles with this question. Not seeing himself thankful for all the negative atrocities around him, he tries to find something he can stand up and be thankful for with limited success, “I’m, thankful today I don’t reside in a country/My country has chosen to liberate” (Dennis 2-3). Generic overuse of such a simple, but meaningful word, has made saying “thanks” somewhat mundane, making it harder to express their gratitude to the receiver seamlessly.

  • Spanish Thanksgiving Research Paper

    136 Words  | 1 Pages

    Since thanksgiving is coming up, I’ve been reflecting on the things I’m thankful for that I don't thank often enough. One of those things is you. I'm very glad I had you in Spanish for both sixth and seventh grade because you really brought out my love of Spanish. I never thought I had it in me to learn another language but with your help I got an amazing start with Spanish. You always encouraged us students to learn Spanish so that we could actually know it, not just to get our worksheets done. Your Spanish classes have motivated me to continue learning Spanish even after high school.

    Paper plates, plastic forks and a pot of spaghetti is not how I imagined my Thanksgiving holiday. It was not a house packed with chattering family members or a buffet filled with five different kinds of the same green bean casserole. Instead, my dad, mom and brother sat with me elbow to elbow at a round fold-out table in the center of our vacant house. I blankly stared at each member of my family and guided my fork back and forth across my plate, trying the hide my discontent, and wishing we were truly home. In that instance I could not list but two things I had to be thankful for.

    You came into my life and changed me forever.  Over the years people have complimented me for being a good mother but I can't take credit for that.  You were born good and you were the one who was often teaching me.  I believe you are an angel God sent to teach me.  You taught me love.  You taught me honesty.  You taught me how to forgive and how to be strong.  You are the strongest person I have ever known and you gave me strength when I was weak.  When times were sad and tough I looked to you for strength.  You taught me how to be myself.  Most of all you taught me about life and how to live.

  • Doing M For My Mom

    288 Words  | 1 Pages

    The reason why I am doing M for my Mom is because there are many things in life that my mom has done for me that I would not be capable of doing myself. To give one example if my mom were to not be here right now I would not be able to have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, or even be here right at this moment. She is my lifesaver, she has been there for me ever since I was born. For me I would have to say that if a child is born without a mother then they would not be able to get through life as easily as, if they lived with there father. Mom’s are there for you 99.99% percent of the time for you, when you are feeling bummed out she is there for you, if you are having a bad day your mom will be there for you because that is why they

    ...;   I like to believe that I've accepted my self-induced isolation from her with grace, but I must admit that I do hold the hope of bridging the gap between my mother and I.  I also hold the hope of amending myself for all the times I've knowingly and purposefully hurt her.  Although she is not a god, as I originally assumed, she is a good woman.  She has raised me, sheltered me, and loved me for over seventeen years without asking for more than casual chores in return.  I believe that the greatest compliment I could ever give my mother is to grow up to be exactly what she wants me to be.  I want to make her happy.  My gift to her will be my success in life, so that when she's old and gray, and she's knitting me a hideous sweater in her creaky rocking chair, she can sigh, and mumble to herself, "Wow, it was worth it."
