raised me in the best way possible and support me till this day. I am grateful because
even though I can't be free, or go out, I still have the chance to believe and have a free
and healthy mind! I have people that care about me and love me but most importantly I
have learnt to love myself. I have managed to boost my self confidence even though I had
a hard time doing that and I am very proud of it. I have the chance to benefit from free
education and I try to do my best with it. I know the things can get tough but I still
know that what I do is the best for me! I also feel thankful because I know that I can
help people and motivate them to be a little more positive. I try to do that for me as well
and convince myself to think the most positive because no matter how hard it gets I still
want to live a positive and beautiful life as a person who inspires others! I am also
grateful because I have two legs that hold me and help me to move on! Two legs that can
dance and express myself when I don't even have a voice !

I’m grateful because I am healthy and I can walk and dance 💃
I’m grateful because I have my parents by my side and they can understand me👨‍👩‍👧
I’m grateful because the closest people in my life love me and believe in me more than I do about
myself 🥰
I’m grateful because I can afford the important things such as: food,water,house,clothes 💸🙏
I’m also grateful because I can afford some things that I like such as : dancing lessons, a

smartphone, a laptop, some games, some more expensive clothes. 🛍

We live difficult times,and especially
now that more people’s family and
lives are getting destroyed, we should
appreciate things before they are lost.
People sometimes have to lose
something to understand what it
was in their lives so we should start
understanding the meaning of
things and situations happening.
