Thanksgiving

At Theta Thanksgiving, we began dinner with going around mentioning a few things we are thankful for this particular year. My family did this when we were younger and all four of us would say the same old thing, "Family and Food," (not necessarily always in that order). Being a college student, I am thankful for those that make life just a little easier and a little more fun. I cannot say thank you enough to my mom for helping me with my finances and making it possible for me to focus on my education. Tyler, you came at just the right time. Last but not least, thank you to the Kings, for taking me in and feeding me during Holidays and offering a place for me to stay if I simply just need to get away.
One thing I have learned this year is that I have two families, the one I was given, and the one that I have chosen. I have made a few unpopular choices in my life that have unfortunately, pushed the family I was given away but in turn, I have gained a deep connection to a family that truly cares for me. I have chosen to surround myself with people that make me happy and respect me for what I will one day accomplish. I may not always say the right things and I certainly will not always make the right choices but at the end of the day, I am thankful for that hug from Mrs. King that tells me I am wanted here.
