There are plenty of things that I am thankful for. In each day of my life, I receive so many blessings, so many that I only got to remember some. And thinking of recalling all these, not of just a particular day but all the thankful moments that I came to experience and enjoy in 365 days of my year 2015 is not an easy one. The hardest part of it is choosing only 15 among these. Thus, Ive decided to divide these 15 things into the three main aspects of my life such as the things Im thankful about myself, about my family, and about me as part of Gods creation. These parts of my life are basically like the the earth and the sun. I am the earth and these aspects are the sun. Like the earth, my life is typically about revolving around these aspects and that makes up my day and the years of my existence.
I am wholeheartedly thankful in 2015 regarding the blessings I received individually for:
1. Having a healthy body

I think this is the most important especially in this category, because without a healthy body, I dont think if Ive been even have the chance to write this, but depending upon the health issue of course. Having the healthy body helped me survive the year and also to be ready for the upcoming new year. The strength, power, and abilities it gives continously brings me more and more things to be thankful of.
2. Gaining more experiences at school
School Year 2015-2016 is such a complete change. Suddenly, our school decided to re-section all the students of STE program. They arranged us in such a way that we are not sectioned based from our academic standings. Thats why, I get to be classmates with the other STE students and some with my former STE-A classmates. The first grading period doesnt turned out to be that successful for me, I dont know if it is because of the new faces and surrounding or because of the kinds of lessons at that time, or maybe both. It is not long after that, that I realize, this new section gave me more experience that I never experienced before. For example, being able to participate in more competitions in our school and joining our section in their unique trips. I even participated in the games during our Christmas party sincerely, in which I have never done in the past three years of being highschool, and I dont know why.
3. Gaining more friends at school
This is also because of the re-sectioning. I met more students, my new classmates in our section that I can now consider as my friends. I am very thankful because the heterosection, made me meet new faces, new people, people that I can also trust and even consider as part of my family. Im thankful that my circle of friends became larger. And with having more friends, my 2015 became merrier.
4. Helping me become more vocal
I dont know how but I know I became more vocal this 2015 than any other years not just towards the people at school but also in a wider social aspect.
5. Giving me more time to enhance myself
I guess I can say that 2015 is really the year that I become a developing teenager. I think it is really the transition period of myself, slowly becoming an adult. I turned out to learn more about different things, not only knew about them but also understand them. It made me become a more responsible human being.
I am wholeheartedly thankful with respect to the gifts I received from,with or for my family like:
6. Having them, which are very supportive
My family is one of the greatest reasons why I survive all the hardships I face in life. They are like the force, pushing me to move forward, like the gravity, reminding me to keep my feet on the ground and they give me strength so I can keep standing and also to have courage so that I can still stand no matter how hard I fell.
7. My family, being healthy
If I am so much thankful of having a healthy body, then I am a million times more thankful that each of my family and relatives also have a healthy body. I value each one of them. I dont want to lose any of them. And a healthy body makes everyone live longer and happier. I want to live a very long happy life with them, thus we need to make each of ourselves as healthy as possible.
8. Being able to survive the problems our family faces
We faced so many problems, but being together made us stronger that weve been able to surpass those. Im very thankful for having my family. Im much thankful cause we are a full, happy family. I am greatful that the challenges we faced in this year has not been able to tear us apart and we are in fact, very ready to face this coming new year of our lives together.
9. Not having any catfight with my sister in 2015(as far as I remember )
My sister and I really fight a lot specifically when we are kids. And there are times when we really hurt each other physically, and honestly this makes me sad and just make myself think, we are just immature before thats why. I guess Im right about that, cause now, we dont fight like that anymore. Yes, we always argue, but we dont get into catfights anymore. For me, that is an achievement, being able to prevent ourselves hurt each other physically no matter how mad we get towards the other.
10. Having the chance to spend time with my grandfather and grandmother
My grandfather and grandmother in my mothers side lives in Australia. They only come back to Philippines every two years, during Christmas vacation. Im very glad that they came back in this year, 2015 and been able to celebrate Christmas with us. It is really fun doing many things with them like going to beautiful places, eating and watching movies in cinema. Ive really miss them and Im very happy to find out that they will also be with us to celebrate New Year.
I am wholeheartedly thankful regarding myself as part of Gods creation for:
11. The everday opportunity that He gives me to live my life longer
Im very thankful to God because he gives me the chance to experience living in His world. I thank Him for letting me live longer with my loveones. I thank Him for all the blessings and support He gives to me.I thank him for creating me and most especially for considering me as one of His children.
12. Having a beautiful world to spend my life on
The world, the whole universe is so wonderful. And Im very thankful that I am experiencing how to live in this world, in Earth more specifically. I am thankful that God let me live in this place, where I can find anything I need to survive. In fact, I dont even need to find some because God already provided them for me, like the air, which is very essential for humans for breathing. Im so thankful that God gives us this extraordinary blessings that only He could provide.
13. Making me appreciate and love more the nature
Provided that I am given the opportunity to live in this wonderful world, I must be responsible for taking care of it and to use it wisely. That is what 2015 made clear to me, that I need to do something that can help in protecting our environment and never do things that can destroy it.
14. The courage that I acquired to do right things
Because of 2015, I am maturing. I am being more responsible. The year makes me not only to identify which is right from which is wrong but also to do the right thing and to avoid doing the wrong things.
15. Gods infinite love and care for all
I love, adore, and thank Him because He loves us despite of all the sins, of all the doubts we had against Him.
