Today I am grateful for . . .. . . snacks! Snacks are quick and savory items which are bought and eaten, sure, you can take time to prepare them with other things, however; they are no real actual food, just things to enjoy. I will say, snacks can be a waste of money at points, but they also don't have to always be chips, ice cream or cookies. Snacks, I much more prefer, to be healthy. A nice little fruit salad, some fruit with tajin, maybe some carrot sticks and ranch, maybe some cheese with crackers. It doesn't always have to be Hot Cheetos, maybe just enjoy some cut cucumber with lime, salt, and Valentina :) (my personal favorite). I also really enjoy making snacks to share, especially as a family.
Today I am grateful for snacks and the sharing I can do with others.

Today I am grateful for . . .. . . calculators! Typically, I don't actually prefer to use calculators; when I have to move quicker, that's when I take out the calculator. In some equations I HAVE to use the calculator, and boy does it really make the data look easy and very professional. I have a graphing calculator on me at all times (20 dollars at Walmart, what a bargain!) and I make sure to use it whenever I need to, or to make sure I did something correct. The graphing calculator also makes finding points on any graph supper simple and allows me to punch in radians and degrees depending on the type of problem I'm solving.
Today I am grateful for calculators, and the time they save me from doing unnecessary work. Today I am grateful for . . .. . . pictures. Pictures are actually something which I don't really care for. I usually never take my phone out and say, "Let's take a picture!", however, I'm starting to do it more often in special events. I realized that pictures are containers of the pasts beautiful, hilarious, depressing and any type of mood or scenery. As I look at pictures and scroll through them, I think, "Wow, I remember this photo, it was when . . . ". I've become more grateful for these pictures as they are permanent memory holders which can take me back to the past and remind me of an event. Even though I may not remember it, it's hidden in the back of my brain and comes out when I see the image, that's the beauty of the memory I enjoy.
Today I am grateful for pictures and the memories I can vividly see. Today I am grateful for . . .. . . parties! Though I may not indulge in all parties, it really is fun to get out and have some fun with the people you know. The food is never bad, the dancing is fun (when I do it), the music breaks my ears but is enjoyable none the less. I really do like not being locked up at home and getting to see and enter in new areas while marveling at how people did things. Quinceañeras are also really fun to go to, staying up until like 1 or 12 at night is wild.
Today I am grateful for parties and the socialization and the fun I have with friends or/& family. Today I am grateful for . . .. . . repetition. Repetition is a concept in which we repeat something over and over and over again continuously. Repetition for me is simply an auto pilot, however, I am showing gratitude for my ability to repeat my morning. I grab my change my clothes, school supplies, pack my nintendo switch, prepare for if I have any, put on deodorant and brush my teeth, grab my ID, my keys, my phone and wallet and exit to the bus stop at 7:50. I do all of this in the span of 15 minutes even though I wake up at 7:05 (I like to spend some my time when I'm done before I head out).
Today I am grateful for repetition and the easier it has made getting up in the mornings and preparing. Today I am grateful for . . .. . . money (and not in a greedy way). Money to us is something that is but isn't valuable as it simply just comes and goes here and there and around the square. I am grateful for the fact that we have money nonetheless and are a economically stable family. We can afford food, a roof, essential items and some entertainment too like vacations and phones. I'm very lucky that my parents are very intelligent spenders despite only knowing the basics while using any extra on the family and saving. Money, sadly, is a part of what makes the world spin. I'd say the percent of importance of money is as much water covers the Earth's surface, which is a lot. Fortunately, we are stable, safe, having fun and living our best lives and I am grateful for this.
Today I am grateful for money and the stability we maintain with it. . . . my family and my friends. Kind of crazy and sad how it took me 35 days to get to this point, but trust me when I say that I value these the most. Just because it took me this long doesn't mean I'm not grateful, however, I was just picking smaller things for previous entries. Getting back on track, my family and my friends are like guides to me in life. This doesn't mean that I don't know my freedoms and powers, but I do learn more and get to be myself around these people. My family is truly the strongest thing in my life where childhood, influence and some outside and inside aspects have been factors that permanently play in my game of life. My friends are always there whenever I need some extra help, talk or just free time to hang out and have fun. There is so much more I could say, but, I'd make an essay :) Today I am grateful for friends or family and the permanent influences they have given me to better my life and decisions. Today I am grateful for . . .Today I am grateful for . . .. . . my small bag. My small bag is used a lot throughout my week, however, I never really notice the usage I give it, do I? I quite literally use it for 2 things only, yet, these 2 things are most important for my everyday life. I use it to transport my Nintendo switch more safely, and, I use it for extra clothes and deodorant for running after school. This little bag has become really important to me in making sure objects I carry are safe and ensuring they are always on me. (It does not look like the image, it is way more simple. I just don't know what they are called)
Today I am grateful for my small bag and the amount of weight it has carried for me. Today I am grateful for . . .. . . summer programs! These are the GEAR UP program and the Cesar Chavez Institute summer program. Basically, I'm going to ASU for a specific amount of days and pretty much get to do college readiness activities and fun all while getting to stay at ASU for a couple days. I'm easily more excited for the GEAR UP program, mainly because I've gone it before and it was really fun. Nonetheless, I am equally excited and anxious for the summer programs and look forward to what they have in store.
Today I am grateful for summer programs and the summer prep they give me before school. Today I am grateful for . . . . . . canva! Canva is a website which allows you to create any type of presentation you need. Brochure, slideshow, poster anything really. Canva has little elements you can add on as well as layers so you can make some very creative and intriguing presentations. Through fonts changes, animations, adding images and so much more, Canva is way better than google slides. However, Canva's biggest downside, is the difficult it can give people to use it and people just hate it. Luckily, that's not the case for me so overall I prefer to use Canva as I get to be creative and let my imagination drive my presentations to new levels.
Today I am grateful for Canva along with the good presentations I have given. |
