Q: What are you grateful for?
I’m grateful for my family and my friends. I’m very grateful for all the opportunities that I have been given throughout the year such as meeting my closest friends and my school and stuff like that. I’m grateful that I have opportunities such as being able to have the food on my table to travel to many countries. I’m happy that I have both a father, a mother, and a brother who loves me very much. I’m grateful for the people that have helped me through my great concussion last year which I gained from a hit in the head with a volleyball, which made me temporarily lose my memories. It was a struggle but with the help of all my loved ones I was able to get through it. I am grateful for all that my parents provide me like a tutor when I needed assistance in math or helping me study for a test they would always be there to offer me a guiding helping hand. I’m grateful for everyone that has ever impacted me because they have made me who I am whether be flaws or good quirks I have. All the people I surround myself with help make me, me and I wouldn’t want it any other way because if I was in another country I’d be forced to act a certain way or forced to marry someone I didn’t even know. So I’m grateful for everything ever given to me from the time since I was born and til now. -Marina K.

My favorite Thanksgiving food of all time are my mom's homemade stuffing and duck with a little bit of cranberry sauces mixed. All the foods in thanksgiving taste so good but honestly all my moms cooking hits a place home in my heart that can’t be compared to no one else’s. -Marina K. Some of my favorite thanksgiving foods are stuffing because I just like how it taste and the flavors it has in it. Another one of my favorite thanksgiving foods are apple pie because I love any type of dessert, but apple pie just is the best since I love apples and pie so them together is just wonderful. -Madison L. Jalapeno cornbread. I grew up being dairy free, when I lost my allergy, about a year and a half ago, I was so excited. For thanksgiving that year, I finally got to try my grandmother's cornbread, and it tasted so good. That year exposed to me a different side of Thanksgiving, I got to try new things. My family also typically does salmon instead of turkey. And that has always been one of my favorite foods. I also recall one year there being lobster, I always love how my family experiments with the holiday. -Leah B. Pecan and Dutch Apple pie and ham. -Peyton S. Q: What do you usually do on Thanksgiving (Do you stay at home or travel? Who do you see?)? Are you looking forward to anything in particular? We usually either stay home or go to punta Cana or go to a soup kitchen, it depends on the mood of thanksgiving. This year we’re celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and eating a bunch of good food. I’m very excited to see my aunt and my cousins because I don’t get to see them that often but when I do I always have a bunch of fun. I’m also excited to have my friend over for thanksgiving it’ll be a little more special with them there. But usually we vary what we do during thanksgiving because sometimes we would rather go to punta cana for a vacation because it’s easier and we can lay on the beach but I’m glad I’m home this Thanksgiving for I get to spend it with the people that matter most. -Marina K. Normally on thanksgiving my family goes and eats dinner at either my aunt’s house or my grandmothers. We usually don't travel around thanksgiving. One thing I'm looking forward to is watching the Thanksgiving Day parade on tv. My family also likes to spend the day with each other and do different activities like playing bard games. -Madison L. I stay home. My family always hosts. Sometimes we have family in. But typically it's just the local people. My parents always follow the Jewish custom of welcoming those on the outside in, so are table is always full. -Leah B. I spend time with my mom's side of the family; I'm looking forward to seeing all my cousins. -Peyton S. Q: Do you go Black Friday shopping? What are your most memorable Black Friday moments? I love Black Friday shopping honestly I might even prefer it to thanksgiving. I usually just buy a bunch of stuff for myself rather than go gift shopping. My most memorable Black Friday moment would probably be when it was still thanksgiving but targets Black Friday opens earlier than usual so we went on that Thursday and we saw these gigantic teddy bear for ten bucks easy so we bought like five of them for only fifty bucks. -Marina K. I don't ever go black Friday shopping. But this year I would like to get the opportunity to go black Friday shopping with my family. Because I would like to experience what black Friday shopping is like. -Madison L. I went Black Friday shopping once. But typically, I sit in my dad's office as my family looks for stuff on amazon, cowering the website for new deals, and interesting pieces of technology. -Leah B. No, I don't go Black Friday shopping--too hectic! -Peyton S. Q: After Thanksgiving, how do you usually spend the rest of your Thanksgiving break? After thanksgiving I spend my break with my family and friends, going out and doing things with them. I also sleep a lot because I’m still tired from school, and it gives me a chance to catch up on my sleep schedule. -Madison L. Baking. My aunt and I always, even after the holiday try to find something interesting to do with all the leftovers. We made sweet potato cupcakes once, they were actually decent. -Leah B. I normally just chill, and get ready for Christmas!! -Peyton S. Write your own question! Q: What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory? One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories is when my cousin came in from California for the holiday. We had so much fun. I was only eight, and at that point I hadn't seen him since I was five years old, it was so nice to be able to see my family. -Leah B.
