Thankful

I am thankful for a couple of people in my 7th period honors American Literature class, but the one I have chosen to write about is Stephanie. I just met Stephanie this year, because we share physical ed and English class. So far, I would have to say that she is a pretty good friend. For example, if I don't understand something that's going on in English class and ask for her help, she would help me understand and explain to me things like what we are reading. Not only does she help me with academics, but I'm grateful that I'm comfortable enough to be able to joke around with her and that she can joke around with me.
So overall, I am grateful for the things Stephanie has done for me and I am grateful for the friendship we share. :)

I Celebrate Myself

When I think about celebrating myself, I think of reflecting upon myself and being proud of the person I am today. Every person is unique and has their own special traits and characteristics that make them who they are-- whether the characteristics be ones that are good or ones that are bad. 
As I am asking my younger brother what qualities come to mind when he thinks of me, he says, "Talkative, goofy, crazy, smart, and funny." Whether these listed qualities are good or bad in somebody's perspective, I would agree that they are a part of what makes me me. I am not quite sure how I would be able to define and put into words the definition of who I am, but to name a few things that I see in myself and have heard other people say about me are compassionate, God-loving, generous, athletic, etc.
I can honestly say that I am so glad to be able to look back at myself and be proud of my accomplishments and the person that I have developed into today.
