I am grateful for having a good community around me. It's more safe than a lot of places around the world and the people in it is more friendly then a lot of people would think. There are lots of places around the world which have some very hostile environments, and can't get away from it. Some even have to live in a war zone and they can't escape that. Some places are even filled with gun slinging pirates that are not afraid to pull their trigger, but in my community that seems like a myth if anything because it's not something that anyone would consider possible in the community I'm in. We have the essentials all around us, we're a small island country with lots of trees, bushes, shrubs etc and we keep going like it's everyday life. Whilst in some countries such as Iran, Iraq and Israel it's more sand then anything else and they don't have these lovely environments, and a lot of people will scramble for food at the first sight of it. Most of all we don't have terrorists and warfare or fateful bombings like in Syria, but most of us don't even think about it for long if at all in a day.

I am grateful for the clothes that I have and for the food and fresh drinking water and that we get to go to school and have computers and equipment. If we didn't have clothes we would freeze and not enough food could make us weak and sick. I am also grateful that I have a bed a phone and a computer, because kids in other countries don't have the privileges of that, they have to work as slaves and girls can't go to school and get an education like boys. If you live in certain places in Africa then you have to walk for a long time just to get water. You also only get a limited amount of food.  But the worst thing is that people barely have any gratitude for the things that they are given and the privileges that they have until the get taken away from them.

I am gracious for being able to go to school and express my opinions and views. I am grateful for being able to be warm and comfortable and warm while I do my work in the classroom. I am grateful for having technology and equipment that other people/children don't have. I'm grateful for having caring reliable friends that listen to what I have to say and cheer me up when I'm upset. I'm grateful for having fresh food and clean water everyday. I am especially grateful for having a family that loves me and takes care of me. I am thankful for the fact that I can wear the clothes I want and not have to cover my face when I leave the house.

In my life I am grateful for having family and friends. I am lucky and grateful that my parents are together and love each other a lot. I am also grateful for having good friends that care about me. I am grateful that my family has enough money to buy clean clothes for me. I am grateful that my parents love each other because if they didn't love each other I couldn't bear them fighting and it would be hard for them to raise us. I have experience with this because my parents have fought once and dad when to stay at my grandparents the night. Luckily for me they were sorry for each other and they made up. I am grateful to have good friends because if I need some help I can just ask them for help. We laugh loudly with each other and we joke together. I am grateful to be able to wear clean clothes all the time because soggy and mucky clothes are very uncomfortable for me. It would be terrible wearing mucky clothes for basketball. I would slip over.

What can gratitude do?

Writing down 3 things you are grateful for a day can make you happier. Also keeping a journal can make you feel better, if something is going on. Saying 'Thank You can show gratitude. :D

This is all about gratitude, gratitude is a little hard to define. Gratitude is about giving back to family and public, I am very grateful of having the equipment to work at school and at home some people don't have the right equipment to even go to school and work. Every single day there is gratitude showing by the public around the world.

When you get thoughts responses makes you feel happier. Scientists say to the people with depression should write down at least three time in there day that time went happier that normal, and it's been showing that people and getting happier by the week one week 3% happier. Then next week 6% and the third week 9% of their emotions get better. People don't realize what gratitude is until someone says “thank you”.

What am I grateful for?

I am grateful for everything I have. I am grateful for being me, having parents, being able to go to school, having friends, having family and being able to live a great life.

Gratitude is being grateful. If you were drowning in the water at a pool or at the beach, Strangers would help you. You would be very grateful, but how do you show Gratitude. You could give them a present or even a simple “Thank you😄”.

The thing that I am most grateful for is: Having an amazing life so far with my amazingly, lovely parents who give me the best education I can have and letting me swim and having the absolute best LIFE EVER! Well so far, so good.

What Am I Grateful For ?

I am grateful that i come to school with a lunchbox full of food. I am also grateful for all the clothes and electronics i have and everything I have. If you think about it lots of people are very lucky to live under a roof and indoors with warm  beds and blankets.

Why Am I Grateful ?

I am grateful because I am living a normal life and not getting forced to do things that I don’t want to do. I am also grateful that I come to school and learn instead of not being allowed to go to school and not learn anything or know anything.

Also when you get something and you don’t like it that is called ungrateful and if you think about it it’s better than nothing because some kids around the world don’t have things that you are ungrateful for. So it’s better than nothing.

So whenever you get something and you don’t like it or you get food and you don’t like it, just think… kids around the world would love to have lots of food but they don’t so when you get food and you don’t like it just think about it. Some kids would love to have lots of food no matter how it tastes. (:
