Gratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation is a feeling or attitude in acknowledgement of a benefit that one has received or will receive. We have so many things to be thankful for like friends, family, a nice house, or even food but sometimes we forget how lucky we are to have all of these things.
I am thankful for my family because they are always there for me through thick and thin. Family to me is the most important thing a person needs and can have. Without my wonderful, amazing, dysfunctional, Mexican family I would not be who I am and where I am with grades, sports, and life. To me they are everything and I would not trade them for the world. They make me feel proud of my culture and who I am.
I am also really thankful and grateful for my good health. I am thankful that I am alive, breathing in and out. That my systems are functioning because many people around the world are fighting to survive with their health conditions. I am thankful that I am healthy enough to play the sport I love, soccer. The amount of gratitude for my health will always be beyond measure.
Last but not least I am thankful for soccer. Without soccer I do not think I would be in shape. Soccer has allowed me to meet new people and make amazing friendships. Without soccer I would not have met my two besties Amberly and Hannah. I am grateful for soccer because without it we would not have Cristiano, Messi, Dybala, Lozano, Mbappe and many more. I am very thankful for the creation of this sport and all of the amazing players who play it.
