14B: It Doesn't Get Much Cheesier Then This

                This past year has been full of change and finding a new normal for not only myself, but for everyone in this new environment we call college.
                The first thing I’m thankful for is the opportunities I’ve been given. One I’m referring to is the opportunity to go to college and live on campus. This may not seem like a large deal to some but living at college has been my ideal thought ever since I was a child. All of this wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t get a scholarship from my town that paid a large portion of my tuition. Without this, I know I wouldn’t be able to live on campus, and possibly not be able to go to Southern. Without all of this, I wouldn’t have met some of the amazing friends I have made and the opportunity to pursue my dream and intended major of becoming a teacher.
                One of the other opportunities I have been so graciously given is the things I’ve been given towards my musical career. I have been able to meet, preform and work with many Broadway actor, directors, and producers. These are opportunities given because of tragedy but enhanced into a resume builder and career in music.    
                What I’m also thankful for is the most cliché of all: My family. Though we may disagree on some things, I love them. They have helped me reach Southern and let me fully experience the college life, which I am truly grateful for.
                I’m also thankful for my freshman inquiry class. Not this may not be something I say I’m thankful for at the dining room table, I really am grateful for this class. Without it, I wouldn’t know how to register for my classes, stay motivated, or even be remotely prepared for the work load I would acquire as a freshman

                This year has been a bumpy ride, but everything has happened for a reason and I’ve learned so much and I feel so blessed.  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, have a great holiday!!
