Recommended: Importance of family in our life essay

I was always taught to be thankful. Thankful for the good and the bad. For the pain, and for the laughs. Every adversity that I have suffered through, every milestone that passed, and every mistake made, made me who I am. And I'm glad. My life is not what you think it may be. In fact it's not at all like the lives you see on the tv. I don't have a house, a dog, or even a prince charming to sweep me off my feet. What I do have is a loving family and that itself is pretty neat. My mom is my idol. She taught me the good and the bad. That whenever something's wrong, I shouldn't beat myself up like mad. Not only that, she taught me to be resilient. My dad is mentally disabled. Because of this, he can`t function and work as properly as the rest

    When it comes to being thankful, there are many things that I think about. I’m thankful for friends, family, and even the animals. Everything nice in my life is worth being thankful for, but what I’m most grateful for is the chance to be vegan. I’m grateful that I can go to bed each day knowing that I didn’t cause the death of another living being. I’m also grateful for the change I’m able to make every single day. That being said, what I’m most ungrateful for is the meat and dairy industry. This business contributes to the abuse and murder of so many innocent animals, as well as contributes to the damages of the environment and our own health.

    She also was on the school board at my grade school, was politically active, and was active in our church. Seeing her stand up to error in public situations gave me the strength to do the same. Sadly, I had to fight error in my high school history class. I disputed my religion teacher's position concerning the civil rights movement (just one of many discussions we had that year). But without Mom's example, I would have been silent like the other kids.

    She has taught me to carry on when life gets hard. She lost her step-son and her husband within 4 months of each other. The doctors diagnosed her daughter with dementia only a few months after all this happened. Rather than shutting down and falling into a depression, she decided to take action. She poured herself into helping her daughter, as well as taking control of her own health. I think, overall, I learned that life can take some unexpected turns, and it is important to do what is best for oneself and those you care about. Cathy has led a fulfilling life so far, and I hope I get to spend many more years with her.

  • Personal Essay: If I Am Grateful For My Life

    1171 Words  | 3 Pages

    I am grateful for my life in many ways and for many reason, I was born 5 weeks premature and one of twins. Though my twin did not survive long enough for me to know him it gave me a purpose to try new things. Whenever I am scared of a new experience such as snow-boarding I think about how lucky I am to be alive and well. This thought helps me to spread my wings and embrace the unknown. Even simple things make me feel thankful, such as running in the rain or taking a walk with my dog or just a lazy Sunday afternoon with myself makes me think how great it is to be alive and here. I have always delight in the small moments in life and to think that they could never exist for me is depressing. Furthermore, being able to share my thoughts and feeling with people I love is something that brings me great joy.
