Thanksgiving. When we hear this word, we think of Pilgrims, turkey, and mashed potatoes. However, the most important part of Thanksgiving is being thankful. The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims, who thanked the Native Americans for their help by inviting them to a feast. I am most thankful for my family.

My family, especially my parents, has funded everything my sister and I have. My parents have spent so much money for my sister and me, for our futures.

It is to help me, and I know. Nobody else could replace my wonderful parents and sister, who have all done so much for me. They are one of a kin
