Thankful

I personally think that everybody in Mr McCarthy's 7th period class is great and worthy of written appreciation. However, if I had to choose one person I would probably say that I am most thankful for Frankie because he never fails to make not only me, but the entire class laugh. I am most thankful for him when he

• Reads aloud 
• Answers questions aloud
• Says absolutely anything aloud.

He always has something important and enriching to say and he does nothing but add his very inquisitive thoughts to our class conversation. He is truly  ball of untapped potential.

I Celebrate Myself

What does it mean to celebrate yourself? It doesn't mean that you're arrogant or full of yourself and it does not give a person the authority to brag about themselves. Celebrating yourself simply means that you are secure enough as a person to acknowledge your own accomplishments and humble enough to understand that you are not a god. The act of celebrating one's self is often thought of with a negative connotation, but I think that it is only healthy. People love it when other people complement them, so why isn't it acceptable for a person to complement themselves? Every person has their insecurities and their downfalls. When I am personally feeling down about myself I try to find one strength in my personality for every downfall that dampens my spirit.
