Thanksgiving is coming up soon. What three things are you most thankful for?

Thanksgiving is one of the big holidays in the U.S. After Halloween, Thanksgiving is also my new holiday here. It is coming up. I have many things which I am most thankful for, but there are three main things. Firstly, I want to thank for my parents. When I was a child, I used to be naughty and didn't listen to my parents much. Now, I repent for having been so mischievous. They bore me and gave me a healthy body. Moreover, whenever I live here, they have to work harder than ever to earn money to pay for my tuition fee. I appreciate that very much. Secondly, I want to send my thankfulness to my brother and other roomates who live with us. He came here earlier than me, and now he knows a lot of things here. I have been told everything about American lives, schools, people, etc. He also helped me do any necessary matters. He works and pays for my expenses here. We and other roomates live as a family. That's why I am not homesick too much. I feel more comfortable when living here. I think I am so lucky. Finally, I want to thank for all of my teachers both in Vietnam and in the U.S. Although some teachers I don't like, but I can't help thinking about what I have been given. Most of my awareness are from my teachers. I always respect them. In conclusion, I really want to send my thankfulness to three important things making my life now.
