Student Perspective on Thanksgiving: Gratitude and Hope

Gratitude and Hope


Do you feel grateful?

I do. Constantly.

I have a family

and friends and

everything I need.

Right?

I live in a world 

where I am too much.

It is never easy 

or natural or well,

good enough.

I always need. 

I am grateful for

the support I have,

but I am hopeful for 

when I don't need it.


By Sarah Dorros
