The blog has returned.....please give it some effort.
As we head into the time of year where we focus on what we have rather than what we do not have, can you share at least five things you are truly thankful for...and how you plan to show, share or contemplate how you can appreciate these things more often? Take a few minutes, look inside, let yourself feel ... Then write.
See you Wednesday!
I miss you Leslie. I am very thankful for my parents because without them I wouldn't be here alive. My parents truthly love me for who I am no matter how many times I screw up.However, I don't think that I show them how thankful I am, I don't mean it in a materialistic way rather than in a sprititual way like remaining them how much I love them or just sitting down talking about anything. I am thankful for my sisters because they are my happiness and I show it everyday by always showing them my love. Another thing I am thankful for are the challenges I have face rather is a person that as hurt me or an event. As a result of the challenges I have faced throughout my life, I have changed for good only because I've learned and grown from the challenges, no matter how hard they get. If it wasn't for the obstacles that I've faced my life would be boring. And the way I show that I'm thankful for the obstacles is by always facing them, rather than giving up. In addition, I am thankful for the three friends that I have, because they are always there to laugh, cry, and create memories with me. However, sometimes I feel like I don't demonstrate how lucky I am for having them in my life, and a way I could demonstrate would be by listening to them, support them, and create new memories. Moreover, I am thankful for waking up everyday and the having the opportunity of having a choice.In addition, I am thankful for having an education and I show it by trying my best and appreciate all the knowledge I gain everyday. I am thankful for being healthy and not depend on machines to stay alive. Everyday I try to demonstrate how thankful I am by loving and accepting myself more and stopping any negative thoughts.

I am thankful for another day. There was a time in my life that i didn't care if i lived or died, and now reflecting I know I'm blessed. The opportunity to experience the little things is so invigorating, like waking up, being able to see another sun rise. I am feeling swamped this semester but I am grateful for this opportunity because i know that it will only make me a better student and person. Im thankful to be able to go to school. I'm grateful for people who love me, an amazing woman of god with a amazing heart, a family (price) that helps motivate me to keep going. Even though i can point out a few things that have went wrong in my life there is always something to see that is good. Today is all i have so i will make the most of it, i will appreciate the struggle and most of all i will cherish life.

Number 3 I'm am thankful for my failures because they truly made me stronger. I was always was afraid to fail because I thought that was the end of the world. But I learned that you can grow and you can be more of a success because you've been through it before.
Number 4. I am thankful for GOD because no matter how bad things get i can pray to God and leads more from it. GOD teaches us everything I love the bible and doing GODS will because his will is love and it's the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Number 5. Friend even though they come and they go you can learn many things from them the are valuable and you can grow with or without them but you shall never give up on them. Friends can also be the gate way to you success never burn you bridges.

Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I thanks God for always answer me prayer and giving me my family, boyfriend and friends who are always supporting and encouraging me no matter what. Also, thanks all of my Prince family for being awesome for me and I always learn new things from you all. All of these support and encouragement are really helpful for me. I believe I will definitely complete my dreams and having the best future life.
This year has been the best one so far, I learned, grew, achieved, and experienced far more than I could ever have imagined. I am thankful for my mother, without her support I would be nobody, I plan to show her my appreciation by being more respectful and patient with her. I am thankful for my education and all the things I have learned and will learn in and outside the classroom, I plan to share my appreciation for education by teaching others the things I know. I am extremely greatful for all the opportunities that have come my way, because they are what make me feel like I'm actually living and I plan to continue taking into as many opportunities as possible. I am greatful for my fears for turning me into who I am today, I will show my appreciation by continuing to face them passionately. Lastly, I'm thankful for my support system, I will show this by giving everybody who has helped me achieve my goals a reason to be proud.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a big one because I find myself being grateful around these times of holidays when it should be all year round.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I am thankful that God gives me another day to live to enjoy and admire everything that is around me and the people that surround me. Also for letting me be a healthy person each day and be able to be where I am at this moment in my life.
Secondly, I am eternally grateful for my family over everything. I am glad I have all of my family members close to me and I appreciate that they always support me in whatever it is that I do. I am especially grateful for my parents because they are always by my side through the good and bad moments in my life, even if I can sometimes give them a hard time. Also they have always had food and a place I can call home. Overall, I am thankful for their endless amount of love for my siblings and I. (P.S. Special thanks to my mom for always packing me a lunch for school even though I am considered an adult now. Ha ha)
Thirdly, I am very grateful for my close friends. I am glad I have those friends who have always been by my side and support every movement I make. I'm glad we are so close because even after high school has ended they are still concerned about me and my well being.
Fourthly (is that even a word ha ha), I am grateful I am in the Price program because it has helped me through so much. The people in Price are so helpful and supportive that it has made my first year of college experience so much easier and much more enjoyable. I am thankful for the support Price gives me academically, mentally, etc.
Lastly, I am so very thankful for my education. I am thankful I can come to class everyday and be excited about class. I am thankful I have some amazing professors this semester who have taught me so much. I am thankful that I could continue my education and now be the best role model I can be for my siblings.
MOST IMPORTANLY, I am thankful for all of the small and little moments in life that I don't appreciate everyday; like music. I am thankful for so many things and I could keep this going but I had to keep it kind of short. This is probably long ha ha oh whale.
I am very grateful for:
ReplyDelete1. My family before anything else because I truly do not believe I would have made it this far without them. My mother has sacrificed her own career for my education and my siblings and I are always there to pick each other up so our falls don't derail us. My stepfather has become the best father I've ever known and by taking us in and taking responsibility for somebody else's children he has shown me that we are worthy of the love of a father. I plan on always being there for my family no matter where life takes me.
2. The ability to receive an education. I have always adored learning and the fact that I am able to come to school and further myself is a true blessing. I plan to take full advantage of it and obtain a PhD. I also always try to make the time to help others through tutoring, etc so they can further themselves as well.
3. The ability to work and contribute to my household through a job that is very flexible and allows me to prioritize my education. I try to be as present as possible in the workplace because I have never had such a fantastic job. I genuinely care about many of my coworkers and have never had any negative thoughts about the way i spend my time there.
4. Having taken the initiative to change my eating and exercise habits. I feel better health wise and confidence wise which only improves my overall performance in all aspects of my life. I will keep appreciating myself and keep up my healthy lifestyle.
5. Fantastic friendships that have listened to me and supported me with things I didn't feel comfortable sharing with my family. They have helped me grow and mature. They are truly invaluable. I will make sure they know that.
As I have made the transition from high school to college my appreciation for those around me has defenitely grew. I am thankful for my family, specially my siblings and my mother who supported me through everything. I am thankful for the wonderful adults in my life such as my professors and the managers at my site. I am blessed to be living in the United States and the opportunities it has given me. In recent events I have realized how blessed I am to be here in a place where it is safer than some parts of the world. I am grateful to have to opportunity to work because many people don't have that opportunity. Most importantly I am grateful for another day of life. I am able to wake up every morning with a purpose while others are taking their last breath.
ReplyDeleteI am doing my best to show my appreciation for life. I am doing this by doing what I have to do to show myself and the world that they should believe in me. I know many people see the potential I see in myself and I hope to make them very proud one day.
Looking back at my past and being able to re-evaluate myself from where I use to be and from where I am now, there are plethora of people and opportunities that have my gratitude. First and foremost I am grateful to have such a supportive, selfless, caring mother because she has sacrificed many things, not just for me, but also my three older sisters. They way I show I am thankful for everything she has done for me is by continuing school and being the first person in our whole family to receive a degree from a 4-year university. This is my dream I will make a reality because this is something my mom has longed to see. Speaking of receiving my degree, I am also thankful for having the privilege to be able to go to school because while I was younger i never really appreciated this. At the time I did not know that some children from different countries walk hours to arrive at school. One day I plan to donate money and give back to my community and schools. Remembering my high school days, the only thing I can remember were my cross country, track, and Cardinals Interact days. With that being said, I am grateful for having the opportunity to experience the clubs and sports that shaped me as an Individual. Without these, I believe that I would have not made it as far as I have right now. With these experiences, I was able to interact with many people that have flourished into life long friendships. Being able to have friends who have the same mindset as you and are also going to college is something I am really grateful for because I know I am not alone. I will always be there for them and they will always be there for me. Lastly, I am grateful for my Price family because without them my college years would not be as fun as they are right now. This is something I will remember when I reminisce about community college.
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
ReplyDelete1- I am very thankful to God for giving me the chance to be alive.
2- I am very thankful for my family who believed in me and supported me in many ways.
3- I am thankful for my friends who supported me and give me all the care that I needed.
4- I am thankful for who I am and proud of the things that I do because i know God with me.
5- Last but not least, I am thankful for each and every one of you " price family" and I appreciate the things that you do for me and thank you for believing in me and choosing me to be a scholar, without you I couldn't do anything or even know what to do in my future. I appreciate all these things by praying for all of you, may God be with you and always lead you to the right choices in your life. God bless you all. :)
First, I am truly thankful for be a child of God and His truly happiness that he give to me because the happiness that he give to me; I can never buy it with money or the world can never give it to me. For example, the would often time give me happiness by have some moneys, clothes, cars, and etc… but that happiness is not last than 30 minutes instead it turn in to worries and sadness. I appreciated what I had and yet I must use everything purely to glorify God and show the world about the truth meaning of life. Like wise, a fish can only live in the water and more father the fish can not live if we take them out and put them away for the water. It is the same thing as human; we are created by God and if we do not live closely with Him we will lost in the way in life and can not breath anymore just like a fish. So this is my short story that I want to share what I appreciated to be in God and be his child. Second, I am truly thankful for my family because I did not choice them to be my family, but God choice it for me. Since I was little until now they support me to be educating, they help me when I need, and they hold me when I am about to fall. I mean it and I am truly thankful to have them, but the most important part that I am really thankful is my family truly love God and they sent me to church since I was little until now. I am now grow up; I know how to make a decision and I choice to put Christ in the center of my life. Without them I might not be meet with God and just be a man who just live to make the world heavy. Third, I am really appreciated to be in this country because when I was in Thailand refugee camp I never though I can escape this prison, but by the blessed of God I am now here in U.S. and free for that prison. I graduated with honor which I never though of it because when I lived in camp I thought I will drop out school when I turn 16 or 17 to support my family. In this country I can traveled to any where, earn my education, and be who I am. Finally, I am thankful to have Price Scholar Students, friends, church members, and professor. Without them I would not be able to graduated and know how to service in college. I am plan to get my nurse degree and give it back to the world by traveling in to another county, states, and city to preach Gospel as well as help them with medical supply when they need it. I am thankful for everything :)
ReplyDeleteFirst off, i am extremely thankfull for God. He has never let me down and I know I am never alone. Also, I am thankful for my parents who love me unconditionally and for my education that many wish to have. It's very difficult out there for women like me to get an education and that's what makes it even more appreciative. I'm extremely grateful for my job, and for this scholarship that I have. Lastly I am thankful for my Professors for always being so understanding of me for everything that I've been going through these past months. I am extremely blessed. I will focus on always making an effort to thank them and to embrace every moment spent with them. I will continue to work hard and always have them in my thoughts and prayers .
ReplyDelete1. First of all, I am thankful for my family because they are always back me up when I fail in my life. Without them, I can't really go this far in education. They have moved to this country for me to receive a better education.
ReplyDelete2. I am thankful for the opportunity to receive education. I've tried hard to appreciate the chance that I have, and I will do more to deserve this chance of having education.
3. I am thankful for all my friends who supported me other than my family. Even though I just recently make real friend in this new country but they are always by my side and help me to stand up when i need.
4. I am thankful for Mr. Nelson to me my chemistry professor. He is the inspiration for me to pursue chemistry major. He is always there when i need help, and i appreciate him for the time he spent to help me to achieve a good grade in the class and to give me the inspiration for my educational journey.
5. Lastly, I am thankful for the great experiences that i have at my internship site such as being patient, being caring and learning more skills that i can apply for my future career. Even though, i did not have a lot of time to stay at my internship site but i am really love to be there more with the students and the nurse that i am working with.
