#7

November 7th.   I am thankful for my heritage.  My dad's side of the family comes from Canada.  I was even born there and lived there a few years before we moved to Texas.  I still have family up there that I love and miss so much.     I am grateful to know where I come from and to have pride and love for who I am.  I am not ashamed of where I come from.  I love learning about my family history and knowing about how we got to where we are today.  It really is interesting talking to both sides of my family.  I really am happy I can be a little different.  In elementary school I got to teach lessons on Canada and bring in money and treats.  My dad even came in one day to my history class in 6th grade after he got his American citizenship and taught about how he went about doing that.  I love my past.  Knowing where I have come from is a huge blessing.
