"I am thankful for being in the position I知 in, socially, financially, and mentally. I am thankful for being sane, and having the mind power to make my own decisions. I am thankful also for all my hobbies, my capabilities, and the people who make it bearable." 
"It痴 my first year here, so I don稚 know Thanksgiving. When I asked my host family, "What is thanksgiving?" they answered, "Eat, eat, and eat!" Such an exciting day!"

Senior, Camille Christophel

Senior, Niles Lashway
"I am thankful for the revival of Chelsea FC- ha! Eat that all you Man United and Arsenal fans! Also, I知 thankful in advance for the hopefully soon to be liberal Supreme Court rulings."
"I知 thankful for basically everything in my life. I知 thankful for the love I receive from friends and family, and especially from my mother. I知 also really thankful for the environment I live in. We池e all so lucky to be living in the environment that we live in."

Junior, Rabita Aziz

Senior Becky Roa
"Thanksgiving is always a great holiday in my family, our annual traditions include snacking before the big meal, pigging-out during dinner, taking a break to lounge around and then indulge again for dessert. This year though, I will be thankful for more than in the past. My sister and her husband will be welcoming the newest addition to our family two days before Thanksgiving!!"
"I知 increasingly thankful for those who look past my social demons. I知 thankful for nano-technology, although underdeveloped as it is. I知 thankful for new perspective. I知 thankful for clutter and walls crowded with hangings (décor). I知 thankful for Gatorade, the blue stuff (green is good too)."

Senior, Wayne Neill

"I am thankful for my family, being alive, and in good health."
"All happy and kind people in the world, especially my ancestors for enabling me to be alive. I am also grateful for the world, as it痴 a wonderful planet whose charms I enjoy daily. Also I would like to thank everybody who has ever made my life better, my existence happier, and making me want to recipitate their kindness."

Senior, Steven Twentyman

Senior, Matt Meyer
"At the risk of sounding sappy or cliché, I知 thankful for my family. I feel safe and loved by everyone in my family. My home is a very secure place and I thank God for giving me that."
"Thanksgiving I think is a time to get together with family and catch up on things that have gone on throughout the year. Not to mention, it痴 a time to eat a lot!"

Sophomore Beth Ortiz

Sophomore, Allison May
"I like Thanksgiving because I can see my cousins and family, and the food is good."
