Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The food is great. The small disagreements are entertaining. I miss my families cooking. I can't wait to get home and eat some real home cooked meals. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for being able to graduate from high school and continue my education at Wartburg College. I am thankful having a person like Kelly beck in my live. She has been a really big help for me here at Wartburg College. She has a really good heart and I am thankful to have her by my side. I am thankful for my new baby cousin Prynce. He is such a cutie. He's a really happy baby and always keeps a smile on my face when I'm around him. This will be is first Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving I am thankful for having such a good group of friends here at Wartburg College. Bria, Nancy, and  Shareefah have being really supportive  and I don't think I would've been able to survive living in Waverly without their love, support, and guideness. Our group discussions have be a big help. It allowed me to express my feelings as well as get some of my their perspective on what it's like being black and living on the Wartburg campus or being in Waverly. I can say that we all have different personalities , opinions and thoughts, but when it comes to this topic in our discussions when tend to come to the same conclusion. Many of us are not planning on coming back to Wartburg next year and some of us are living after Christmas break. I know that we shouldn't run from our problem, but living here is very stressful and it really doesn't have to be that way. All I want to do is get an education just like everybody else here, but I can't focus on that if I have a lot of negative distractions going on around me. I'm go back home to where my comfort zone is stronger!
