I am thankful for my friends because they are always here when I'm going through a rough time and they help me to be a better person whether that's inviting me to church or just listening to my problem.

I'm also thankful for my family because they show me what true love is. They show me love, forgiveness, and compassion. If it wasn't for them, I don't know who I would be or where I would learn those things.

Working at Hollywood Feed, I've gotten to grow my knowledge so much. I get to work with such awesome and smart people. I've learned so much about pet health, which also relates to human health. Working has also given me the opportunity to go places, like the beach with my friends after graduation.

I wish that I could put into words my thanks for harding. There was a point when we didn't think I would have the opportunity to come to harding, but my life would be totally different if I didn't go here. And I don't voice my thanks enough for coming here.
