Weekly Thoughts: Living in America, I feel so fortunate. I basically have more than I need. I have education, a home, a family , food, and friends. Besides from my mother telling me that I am lucky to be living in America, I have never gave much thought about what I have until one day my art teacher would repeadidly say to the entire class, "you are so lucky; you have running water, a toilet, and a home." I've always knew that living in America, I did have more advantages like education. Knowing that I have more than others, especially in third world countires, I feel like I should be smart and take advantages of such situations. I noticed that there are some people who do not appreciate or even acknowledge what they have and I feel sorry for them, because they do not know what they are doing to themselves.
