Be Thankful
I hope everyone is having a satisfactory Thanksgiving weekend. As for me, I’ll have to wait until Saturday before I can chow down on some turkey. But after suffering through day after day of eating ramen, it’ll be worth the wait.
In the mean time, here’s a nice little holiday article:
Zohal Faqeeri has more reason than ever to be thankful this Thanksgiving Day.
The 10-year-old girl from Kabul, Afghanistan, is thankful not only to be living with her family in the United States, but also because she won a contest with her essay on what she is thankful for.
—
Teacher Becky Riveras encouraged Zohal to enter the contest after the girl wrote a similar description of her family’s plight in a persuasive essay assignment on a presidential candidate. Zohal explained why President Bush had benefited her country.
Just a little something to think about. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Any chance of posting the essay itself?
