It's that time of the week again... Happy Thursday! While taking a break from studying for my final midterms, I took the time to think of three things I am thankful for.
1. My Faith
My faith is extremely important to me and I am forever thankful for being able to grow up learning about God. Going to catholic school my entire life has helped me to become a strong young woman with values and morals that I take pride in.
Because of my faith I am able to share with others my beliefs. I do so by going on many missions trips both in the US and Jamaica. The most life-changing event thus far in my life is most definitely my first mission trip to Jamaica. I not only grew stronger in my faith and closer to God, but I also became more appreciative of the life I have been granted. If you have not done so, whether you are religious or not, i strongly suggest that you go on a mission trip as soon as possible!
2. My Dad
As a young girl, some of my fondest memories involve my dad. My mom is one of my best friends, but I'm still a "Daddy's Girl" at heart.
My dad's willingness to give to others is unlike that of anyone I have ever experienced. Not only is he a mentor for many teens and young adults, but also an amazing role model to both my brother and me. He accompanied me on my first trip to Jamaica and had an equally life-changing experience.
3. Education
My entire life I have been blessed with the ability to attend Catholic and Private Catholic schools. My education is extremely important to me and as a college student I have begun to appreciate it even more.
I am so thankful that I was able to graduate high school and attend a university in Chicago. My parents are extremely supportive in everything I do, especially my decision to major in Psychology. My past education and experiences have influenced me to pursue a career in counseling. I am forever thankful for all of my family members who have helped make the education I've received and will continue to receive possible.
What are you thankful for?
XO
