The next thing I am thankful for is food. I have at least enough food in my kitchen. I am thankful for food because it helps me have the energy to play sports with my friends.

The last thing I am thankful for is my family. They love and care about me and I love and care about them too! They help me with my homework, and they make me feel happy. They make me feel comfortable. They treat me nice and kind and I want to thank them for that.
