I am grateful for mostly everyone, a lot of people in my life have made good impacts on me as a person, I know the outline said to pick a specific person but I just cant decide because it just isn’t right to ignore all the people that have helped through out my childhood. Some examples, are all my teachers who have taught me enough to get into a prestigious middle school and hopefully my middle school teachers will teach me enough so I can get into a great high school. Some other examples are my family and my friends, they have helped me have fun a have new experiences life by either forcing me or just encouraging me to try new things that I end up enjoying. I hope you accept my application for the recognize good contest.
I am grateful for my teachers: The teachers are very helpful they do so much for us, they are the people that help us get our lives ready for the future. They help us with bullies, they help us if we are falling behind in math, or science, or help with homework if we don’t quite understand it. They care for us they want us to succeed, teachers are the people that give us valuable information they teach us about the world around us. They are the reason students get into collages because they have been taught by amazing and wonderful teachers. Everything that teachers do for us is a lot we should all be very grateful for teachers.
thank you for all your efforts to assist the Austin, TX homeless community. Doing their laundry helps increase their self respect. It may seem a small task but it has large benefits to those in need.
This enterprising young woman serves her community in Austin, TX with a volunteer organization to do laundry for the homeless.
Kirby reaches out to the homeless community and provides clothes, shoes, dog food, on weekends. He is such a blessing to those who are down on their luck.
