11/6/2023 0 Comments grateful for my strengthI consider myself as a very strong person. For my age, it takes a lot of maturity to not give up because of the mental struggles that everyone goes through, and that I go through.
Everyone has their problems so we just have to be strong and get over it, because life is made of ups and downs, and we can't let a moment/season take our eternity away. 11/6/2023 0 Comments grateful for my gradesI am very happy and contempt about my grades and the only person I can thank is myself because if wasn't for my effort, I wouldn't be at the spot I am right now.
And to be honest is very easy to good grades, and I don't understand how do Americans have such a hard time with it when their based on assignments, not test results, but assignments. 10/30/2023 0 Comments grateful for healthI'm grateful for health and sometimes people take that for granted. Most of take for granted the ability to walk, talk, hear, smell, see, feel, breath and so on.
So today, I'm grateful for that, and even though I do have a respiratory disease it doesn't change the fact that I'm healthy. 10/23/2023 0 Comments grateful for my lifeTo live is an amazing gift that we all, at some point, took for granted. Most of us do not live, just exist which is very sad. I, for a long time have been just existing, but I thank God for giving me the grace of waking up everyday.
10/23/2023 0 Comments grateful for my baeMy bae is everything to me, kind of. She has been my friend for as long as I can remember, we grew up together and she's my soulmate.
I love all my friends, but she is different. My love for her is out of this world; she is my sister from another mother, and I tell her everything. I feel safe with her, appreciated and loved. I don't know when she became my best friend, but if it is part of God's plan she will be my friend until I die. I can't really explain my love for her, but if I could put it to words it would definitely be that she is my ride and die, for sure 10/18/2023 0 Comments grateful for being AngolanI will never not love being African and especially Angolan. I love my culture, my country, who we are as people and especially our food, love it.
Being African is the greatest happiness ever, but there is something about being Angolan that brings me a different type of joy. If I can describe my people is by saying that even in struggle we find happiness and joy, and that is something I'll live by. I can't really express my love for being Angolan, but I love saying that I am. 10/17/2023 0 Comments grateful for my clothesI'm very grateful for my clothes. I'm very blessed to have the life conditions that I have, and we all think that having clothes is something easy.
I do forget that even the simplest piece of clothing is a blessing and wanting more becomes a behavior of ingratitude, because sometimes I don't realize that are people that don't have much. 10/17/2023 0 Comments grateful for my friendsI will forever be grateful to God for putting amazing people in my life that are always here for no matter what. Most of my friends are childhood friends, they are people that I met when I was in elementary school and 'till this day we are very close to each other, so close that we don't consider each other as friends, rather a big family.
They are a big portion of my happiness and my life and without them I would be very sad and miserable. They always help me if I need something and vice-versa. Even though we are not in the same country or continent right now, our bond is just stronger and better and these past months have shown me that they are people I cannot let go of because they are here for me when I feel lonely in here, so today I'm grateful for them 10/17/2023 0 Comments grateful for being meWhen we think of gratitude we often think of possessions and people around us or that mean something for us, so today I'm grateful for myself.
I'm grateful for being exactly who I am, the good, the bad, my personality, my beautiful face :), but most importantly, my character. My parents did a fantastic job raising me and my sister and seeing how this generation is these days, I congratulate my parents because this generation is crazy. I'm thankful that I love myself, that I am not ashamed of myself, that despite what this generation is looking like I stay truth to who I am. 10/17/2023 0 Comments grateful for my bedIf there is something I love it is my bed, I just looooovveeeee to sleep so much. It is so amazing laying in your bed at the end of the day or whenever you want to.
And a lot of people don't have this privilege, not only don't they have a bed, but they don't have a room, a place to sleep at, so it is always important to give thanks for what we have 10/16/2023 0 Comments grateful for my sisterAll the time we ( people with siblings) say we hate them, most of the times we say it playfully and others, in a moment of "rage", meaningfully. Either do we mean it or not siblings are our other half, our soulmates and for the firstborns, siblings are our "kids".
My sister has certainly pissed me off a lot, and I've hated her a lot for a hot minute, but she is everything to me, I would do anything for, I would die for her, I would rather live a miserable life then seeing her unhappy, I would give my entire life up for her. I love her so so much and I don't know if she even knows how much I love her, but no mater what my love for her will never die. 10/12/2023 0 Comments Grateful for foodA lot of times we take food for granted and don't realize how much of a blessing it is to have even a plate of food every single day, and we as people tend to devalue what we have. I do that, sometimes I throw away food, or let it go bad, or even complain about what food I eat. So, I just try to remind myself that having the opportunity to eat what I want, when I want, and where I want is something I should be thankful for and that a lot of people don't have this same opportunit.
10/11/2023 0 Comments ParentsI never though of how blessed I am to have parents that actually care about my future and always make sure to check and see if my and my sisters grades are always good. Some people have parents that don't care about their performance at school and care about showing up for their kids.
I've always seen this commitment as something sometimes annoying but as a approach my adult life I realize that that is actually a blessing and I'm grateful to my parents to be who they are. I'm grateful for everything they did and do for me and my sister and I hope that in the future I'll be the type of parents they are for me and my sister. They didn't grow up with money, but they made sure to build a good life for me and my sister. They are my everything and I'll make sure to be the best I can be at school so that the sacrifice they are doing by sending us to the U.S is worth it. 10/10/2023 0 Comments I am grateful to be hereI am grateful to be here and having the opportunity to study in the U.S, not only finish high school but also by having the opportunity to go to college in a American university.
This will definitely help me with my future and job opportunities, because in my country people that have a degree from North America or Europe are way more valued then people that got it there, that is a little unfair but it is what it is. But the con about it is that I'm far away from my parents and this is a big sacrifice for all of us, but at the end of the day I have to keep in mind that being here is a an amazing opportunity and I'll do everything in my power to succeed and make all of this worth it. |
