Who I am Thankful for in 5th Period English II

I am thankful for being in the class with all my wonderful peers. I love listening to class discussions and having respectful debates over disagreements. Every student in 5th period English is a great ethic with a lot of potential and it makes me happy knowing everyone has a different, open minded perspective on any topic we are presented with. I am thankful that we can all speak our minds and share thoughts and stuff whenever we interpret a piece while still being attentive and taking others opinions under consideration. I dont know, I think its pretty cool. Happy Thanksgiving.

I Celebrate Myself

To celebrate yourself, you must accept the way you are. You must accept that you are you and no one else can change that but you. In today's society, I rarely see people celebrate themselves and it honestly makes me sad. Nowadays, everyone is a subject to conformity and people forget who they really are. Everyone is different, but people don't seem to understand that. They do things to be like others, and end up losing themselves in the process. Everyone is unique and they should be grateful for what they have.
 I celebrate myself because I am different. I do what I choose to do. I do what makes me a better person. I don't see the point in trying to be like someone else or imitating what others do. I appreciate what I have in life, although sometimes things aren't that bright. They could be worse, but they're not. An individual should make decisions that make benefits to themselves as well as others. That's what makes each and every one of us special. We have the ability to make choose between what is right and what is wrong. We have our own opinions that make us even more special. We have the freedom to think for ourselves, too. So why do people celebrate the same people? Why do people like being the same? I honestly do not know but what I would to see in this society is people being more appreciative for what they have as well as what they can acquire. I want to see more people make their own decisions in their own life instead of being controlled by others.
