Gratitude is when we appreciate something that has come our way.

Think back when you were little and someone gave a gift or a kindness and your Mom or Dad reminded you “Now what do you say?” and you pushed out a monotone “Thanks,”

I remember this because I always felt embarrassed if they had to remind me.. because like it says it's being polite not grateful.

When someone does a huge favor for me, or helps me out with something..
The last time I felt grateful was 2 days ago when my mom took me out to get candy and icecream.

I cherish my necklace my older brother gave to my because we were not very close then one day he came home and gave it to me out of nowhere. And now since he left 2 months ago fro the Army I wear it everyday.

I was in a bad situation that I didn't want to be in, so I called my brother and he came and picked me up.

We had to make a cold connection in art class, and I wanted to make my brother something since I hadn't seen him in about a month.. So I made an X that says ohana means family.. the X is because our 2 families intersected together to make one big family. (we are step siblings)

True gratitude is heartfelt and unscripted

Gratitude isn't playing by the rules.
I always heard it when I was little, my mom always used to tell me that I should feel grateful for all the things in my life, you never really felt true gratitude toward something until you lose it all.

I remember when someone has done something good for me and I was grateful for it until I realized I should also do something for them, too.

I got a bracelet that my grandma owned when she was still alive. My dad got it for her and it meant a lot to her and I'm really happy that I have it now.

I was having a hard time trying to get my aim down with my speed when pitching for softball for a really long time and a girl that also pitches took time to help me until I got it.

My cousin is kind of hard to shop for so one year for Christmas I just put a ton of little things in a bag that I thought she would like. It wasn't anything special, mostly just her favorite candy and things form her favorite show and things like that.

Your Aunt steers you to a part - time job.

Do something good in return, either for the person who helped you or for someone else.

I feel deeply appreciative when someone buys me something that i cant afford or don't have enough money.

When somebody buys me jewelry, I wear it everyday until its worn out.

When I arrive at work after school, someone had set everything out on the counter so I'm not rushing when i arrive their.

I feel very appreciative everyday. My parents do so much every day for me. For example, my mom cleans the house and buys my family food so we can live. She also does all of the bills so we can have things and a place to live. My dad does things for my family even when he doesn't want to.

The most cherished thing that I have ever gotten as a gift was definitely my room. For graduation, my parents decided that they would give me dinner and I can redo my room. Whenever I walk into my room, I think about how happy I am. I also think about graduation night.

One time my mom bought me a bracelet kit because she knows I'm creative and wanted me to make bracelets to sell. I kept putting it off and off for a long time until I realised her birthday was coming up, and I made her bracelets for her birthday.
