Lets Stop and Say Thank You

Let’s Stop and Say Thank You.

Emily Vincent 5^th Hour

I value a lot of things in life, but I think the most important thing I value would be dancing. Dance is very important to me too. I have been dancing since I was three years old and I absolutely love it. But what I love most about dance is I can express myself in ways words can’t. I can let go of everything going on in my life and just forget it for a minute. I also love my friends and teachers at dance, they are so important to me. I don’t have a lot of friends at school but I have people at dance who are there for me through thick and thin. I value my dance teachers a lot too because they always tell me I can do it and to never give up .Secondly, we all have one thing in common, dance, and our love for it. I think I value dance so much because it is the one thing I am good at and I will never give up on getting better at it.

Many things come to mind when people ask me what I’m Thankful for. If you asked me my answer off the top of my head would be my family & friends. Don’t get me wrong I am thankful for my family and friends but I am even more thankful for my dance career and Taylor Swift. I already said how much I value dance but, I am thankful for it because I’m so happy I am able to do it, and happy I can afford to do it. Many people can’t do the things they love because of financial issues I’m happy I can. Oh yeah, and Taylor Swift. I’m a huge fan and I am so thankful for her and her music. You might think it’s stupid to be thankful for a celebrity but she has gotten me through basically everything with her music and she is the best role model. If she wasn’t famous I wouldn’t know who else to look up to. Taylor Swift is a really great person that I want to be like and I’m so thankful for her I can’t explain it.

I love the thanksgiving traditions my family has every year. Well to start off the Friday before thanksgiving I participate with my dance studio in the Northville Holiday Lighted Parade. We dance down the streets of downtown Northville in our cute costumes and all have a big meal together after. That is one of my favorite things to do before thanksgiving. Another thing my family does for Thanksgiving Is we go to my Aunt Mary’s house for dinner. We have almost every family gathering at her house. My family is super close and tight knit and there are a lot of us. So when we all sit down at the table for thanksgiving dinner together it is a sight to see. My grandma always makes her seven layer Jell-O for thanksgiving. Even at eighty six years old she has never not made it, Of course Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without dessert. My family is huge on food. So everyone waits all year for the deserts at Thanksgiving.

          Thanksgiving every year reminds us all to say ‘Thank You’. Which I think all of us need to say more often. We don’t see how good we have it.
