With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I figured it was the right time to tell you what I am thankful for. I can't make any promises that I won't get all mushy.
1. My Family
Without my family supporting me, giving me tough love, and just being there for me I wouldn't be where I am today. I have such a great support system, that when I let them down, it breaks my heart. My mom has been there for me during every chorus concert in high school to my pledging ceremony in Phi Mu. Even on the weekends when I beg her to come up, she does. My father has always been my number one supporter. From me doing ballet on the soccer field to me getting my first goal. And even now, sitting in college two and half hours away, I know he is supporting me with all that he's got. My sister: I don't have the words to describe how thankful I am to have her in my life. I would of had three of her but God knew one was enough to keep me sane. She has been my right hand man, my lifeline, and my lifelong best friend. I am truly thankful for my family.
2. My Sisters in Phi Mu.
Goodness, where do I even start? You guys have taken me out of my introverted bubble, popped it, and here I am. I don't think I could have had a better support system throughout these four years of school. I have met my best friends (all of you), my bridesmaids (sorry not all of you), and just plainly people who have supported me from bid day. I am thankful for each and every one of you and proud to call you all my sisters.
3. My Friends
From the people I played sports with to the people I practically grew up with. I love each and every one of you even if I don't say it enough. Y'all have been there for me to make me laugh when I have had rough days to even just plopping on the couch with me after school to watch trashy MTV. All the moments that we have shared will remain with me wherever I end up. I am thankful to have such great friends.
4. My School.
Queens has been an experience to say the least. You have given me experiences, my friends, and moments I will never forget. It has been a wild ride these past four years but I wouldn't change it for anything. We have been through every low and almost every high college has to offer but we are still standing. I am thankful to have such a school that gives me amazing experiences and lets me achieve my dreams.
There are so many other things I could be thankful for, but these are definitely the top few. Thanksgiving has always been a time to give thanks and be thankful for what you have. So make sure you hug your mom, dad, siblings, pet, best friend, or your computer. Whatever you are thankful for, because without it, you wouldn't be where you are today.
