    One thing that I am thankful for is improving my skills in drawing/sketching because art is important to me. My teacher at the Arts Students League has helped me by telling me the things that I need to work on.

    One accomplishment that I am thankful for is getting in both school plays. I love to act and being in the school plays are going to be so much fun. I am thankful for everyone in my family. They inspire me to do my best and never give up.

    I'm extremely thankful for the education I'm receiving at S.S.H.S. I'm also thankful for all of the friends that I love and care for, you know who you are. But, I'm mostly thankful for the people in my family who helped me get through the first quarter.

Start a travel blog and it becomes your unique view on the topic. For this post I want you to pretend this is your blog. Write a post about a recent experience you had with something you have a strong opinion about. It can be negative or positive. Your post should be 6-10 sentences at a minimum. Compare and contrast what you are writing about with other things similar to your topic. For example: If you are writing about a record from a particular artist, compare it to similar artists or the artists earlier work. Same for restaurants, etc. See examples for ideas.
