I am thankful for all of the friends I have made here as well. I am thankful for the things I have learned and areas I&#8217;ve grown in due to this school.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for all my friends back home and I miss all of them so much. I am thankful for every memory they have given me, good or bad lol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful for this past summer. I had the best opportunity to work at a summer camp. I loved it. It was a really great opportunity to help others and just be useful to others. It helped me to see how fun a summer can be. Normally my summers include staying at home a lot and I am thankful for this past summer because it showed me how great having an eventful but not busy summer can be. I am also thankful for this past summer due to how many great people and friends I made. They are all so great and I am grateful I have them as friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I am also just thankful for everything. I think we take a lot for granted as not just Americans but as human beings. due to life and business, I think people often move too fast to even acknowledge their blessings.\u00a0 I think it&#8217;s a very important thing to do though. It helps you see what a cool world we live in and how privileged we are in general.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During this time many jump straight to thinking about Christmas and presents, but i think thanksgiving is so important to celebrate. We need to acknowledge our gifts not just want gifts. We as a society in today&#8217;s day in age seem to want something every day and get wants confused with needs. Which not saying wanting things is bad but putting a limit on how much you want is a great idea in my opinion. Acknowledging one&#8217;s blessings and how much you have already received makes it much easier to be content as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, this holiday break give thanks and not wish lists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Due to Thanksgiving being next week and we are going to be out of school I wanted to do a blog about things I am thankful for.\u00a0 To start off with everything I am thankful for I am definitely thankful to be in this creativity filled environment and have the opportunity to go to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/2025\/11\/21\/thanksgiving\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Thanksgiving&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22645"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22645"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22658,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22645\/revisions\/22658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
