Have you ever had your opinion on something entirely changed? What made it change? It likely could have been family and tradition. An individual’s family and traditions have the most influence on one’s perspective because it uses examples to change someone’s opinion on something. Tradition is an important factor when it comes to changing opinions.
Dr. Meyers, Hello! I hope your Thanksgiving was rejuvenating and enjoyable with family and friends. This is Angelia (Angel) Hirsch from the summer practicum course through Liberty University. I am not certain what happened over the week of Thanksgiving, but our house (which is a 125 year-old historical home, really a niche market, not many want to deal with the special things that come along with the age and up keep) suddenly went into high demand and we had numerous offers come in on Wednesday!
Growing up Catholic, it has been engrained in me my whole life to be grateful for what I have, especially because there are always people who are
The people that usually come is my aunt’s family, my grandpa, my other aunt, and my whole family. Me and my cousin from my aunt’s always play with nerf guns while everybody else is inside socializing. Soon after, we watch the football game, the thanksgiving day parade, and “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”. We first watch the football game because my family is really competitive so they love sports.
Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is the most stimulating holiday. There is an extreme amount of food to see, smell and taste, along with emotions associated with seeing family. The whole feeling of Thanksgiving is warmer and different than most holidays. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and siblings stand in a circle around a table laden with food. Their hands are linked.
Most families eat turkey as their main course of the Thanksgiving meal. They also have traditional foods like potatoes , green beans and lots of pies. Many families play games during the day too like football, soccer, video games or listen to Christmas music. One way we celebrate differently is we start seeing family a week early. We usually visit my grandma first before Thanksgiving.
“I’m sorry sir,” the doctor said. John held back tears. How was he supposed to react after just being told that he had two weeks to live? John had always been wealthy. Being so, he never had to worry about what others thought of him, and he certainly didn’t have to worry about the repercussions of his actions.
Hosting Thanksgiving was always a tradition at my house. We would always have my family down at my house every year for as far back as I can remember. That is, until this year. This year, my family and I went down to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. It was a blast!
I am thankful for many things. In America, from the time we are adolescent, we are bombarded with the conception that we can be more, do preponderant, amend our circumstances, and become whomever we optate to be. That’s not the case in many countries around the world. Here we are enheartened and expected to explore, to discover, to endeavor, and even to fail. When we do fail, we get up, brush ourselves off, and keep right on peregrinated.
One thing I am thankful for had to be my concussion, sounds strange right? Well we all have our stories but mine started during my freshman year basketball game. Going into the game, I thought we were walking out with an easy win because we played this team before and won. First lesson, don’t ever be cocky in a sport because it will bite you back. Of course, my team decided we were not going to take the game too serious since we won before and karma caught up with us really fast.
Have you ever had a bad holiday? This last Thanksgiving wasn’t the best holiday I’ve encountered. The vacation was four days long and it was fun, but the Thanksgiving meal wasn’t satisfying. We left Wednesday around 9:00 a.m. and got to Watertown, Wisconsin somewhere between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The trip was better than what it usually is, we made good timing, I kept myself occupied, took a nap, and ate a good lunch.
“Forever Thankful” Being Thankful can sometimes be difficult for certain people. Maybe they don’t have it as easy as some of us do. However, I’m sure someday they will be thankful for their struggles in life or childhood because it gave or will give them the opportunity to become the best people they can be able to live life to the fullest. If you are one of those people that maybe don’t have it as easy as some of us do than be thankful for what you do have and treasure it.
My friends always know how to make me feel happy and grateful for the littlest things. My friends also teach me that I should notice the small things in life. I am very grateful that I have friends and a family who challenge me to be a better person and live a better life. I believe what makes a life worth living is learning from mistakes, learning about life, and growing as a person, and my family and friends teach and challenge me with this
