~ I’m grateful that some of my teachers from last quarter have not forgotten who I am (like most of my previous teachers are prone to do).

~ I’m grateful that my parents are always so relieved to hear from me when I call them before I call them just to check in (late classes).

~ I’m grateful for striking up more conversations with classmates, even if they’re short and/or leading nowhere. It’s a step to breaking out of this newly formed shell I have on and it is a step to getting to know more people and expanding my social circle, which is another goal of mine!

~ I’m grateful that I’m from Hawaii because it makes a good conversation-starter.

~ I’m grateful for good music I can listen to while studying!
