I am very grateful for my mother, because she birthed me, and raised me. She had it quite tough, because I only had a five percent chance to stay alive, or be born. I had some issues when born, and my mother stood up and got the doctors to do the right thing, so I am very, very grateful for my mother and her courage, I am also very grateful, that I was raised by my parents, and had the right understanding of everything, because without them teaching me, patients, determination, perseverance, and much more. I am also grateful for my teachers, because they have also taught me a lot of things throughout life, like to ignore things that aren't funny, to think deeper, to have a better understanding of other people, and to respect everyone and their things they cherish. I am also very grateful, because of God, because he gave me self control, and just helped me throughout life, so i'm not completely lost.
