感谢父母征文比赛 Words Left Unspoken

Words Left Unspoken: A Parent Appreciation Essay Contest

As time progresses, the younger generations are continuously pitted against adversities that are unfamiliar to the former generations.

感恩节征文高中组(21)

Thanksgiving is not just a time to sit down as a family and eat turkey, but is a time to think about what you are grateful of. As for me, I believe that is the point of Thanksgiving. However, my family and I don’t exactly sit down and eat the classic Thanksgiving meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc. We simply spend the day thinking and sharing about what we are grateful for and thanking one another for what we have.

感恩节征文高中组(17)

When I sit by the window and stare out into the trees, I am always delighted by their changing colors. I see the lush, green leaves turn into golden perfection to orange and red, then I know autumn is coming. For me, it used to mean nothing special; at best, it was a reminder of wearing more clothes because of the coming freezing temperature in northeastern China. However, after I came to the U.S., I look forward to these golden falling leaves, to the arrival of fall because it reminds me of the Thanksgiving festival. When the day comes, the various colors of food, the vibrant buzz of the house, and the words from my aunt, uncle and cousins make me feel warm and not lonely, even if I live far away from my parents. It leaves me hoping the day will never end. It is just amazing. Continue reading


GRATEFULNESS--感恩节征文初中组(10)

GRATEFULNESS

Traditionally, my family and I usually spend Thanksgiving break staying at home, relaxing, and spending time with friends and family at feasts, potlucks, and parties, just as most people do. However, this year’s Thanksgiving was a little different and unique. Besides all the gourmet potlucks and parties that we went to, I participated in what I recognized as one of the most unique and memorable events in my entire life. I was accepted to compete in this year’s 2014 Miss Teen San Jose pageant competition, and I was very grateful having this opportunity to compete with other girls on the stage as we all shared our thoughts towards our inside beauty which was loving, caring and giving thanks to all the things. Continue reading
