The year is almost over. And not a while ago, it was Thanksgiving, so why don't I write a small Thank you letter saying three things I'm thankful for.
1) I'd like to thank myself.
Of Course, people have helped me along the way, and I'm grateful for it. Especially my parents, who gave a roof over my head since the day I was born. Who also provided and care for me. Without them, I wouldn't be in this great country. Or my friends, that if it wasn't for them this year I could've dropped out of college. However, most of the credit must be given to me since I have made the final decision. I'm the one who has fallen and learned from my mistakes. And I'm the one I should be grateful to since I did a pretty good job being myself. Sometimes I need to blame myself and not others for the troubles I had, but I never regret it. Those mistakes made me who I am today.
2) I'd like to thank coronavirus.
No, I'm not thankful for the Thing that killed more than 15,000 people, especially my neighbors and some of my friends' family members. But what I'm grateful for is the lesson that it taught me. It taught that you should be grateful to breathe the sweet oxygenated air; that I last year wake up and have a great run in a crowded place. It also taught (or encouraged) my love for the art of science, such as DNA, how viruses behave, and how we can figure out a way to get rid of it. I hope it goes away to continue with my wonderful life, and I hope it goes away, making my life better than the first. Of Course, these are a dark time, but we cant up. We need to find the light.
3) I want to thank the internet.
The internet is a fantastic thing. Millions and millions of people get to experience the web. A place where people watch cat videos. A place to find your interest and hobby. There are millions of resources for job work and for studying. It could be a dark place where you can discover hideous things or a place where you can find beautiful things. Thanks to the internet, we are able to stay connected during this challenging time. I found more friends with the same interests and more friends that could help me with classes. I can't stand staying locked up in the house seeing the same four people (which I'm grateful to have them) repeatedly. But this couple of months has helped me connect and fight my depression.
If we are grateful to ourselves, our environment, and our loved ones, we can join and be stronger together. So when this Stupid pandemic is over, we could be happier and be together a little bit longer than we used to.
