Thanksgiving is just behind the corner, and of course, I thought I'd do the cheesy thing by writing a list of what I'm most thankful for. Now that I'm finally free from the shackles of heavy schoolwork I was given just these past two days (seriously, some classes crunched in a heap of material at the last minute), I thought it would be a great opportunity to reflect on the thing I tend to take the most for granted throughout the year: I want to express my gratitude for my parents. I know, I know - it’s quite a no-brainer to come up with this in terms of “What am I most thankful for?", but it’s very important. Although I may not think about it often, I’m really quite the inhibitor of stress for my parents. In no way am I a perfect child; Besides academic work, I will procrastinate on anything and everything if you so let me (getting my driver’s license, for instance, has been “in the planning stage” for about a year now). My parents get frustrated with these flaws of mine, but they do everything they can to help me change these habits for the better, and encourage me at the times I feel the most vulnerable. They don’t have to come see the band perform in ice cold weather on a Friday night. They don’t have to pay for countless photo packages of my string of school activities. But they do so anyway. And for that, I am truly grateful.
