The Class of 2007 shares how they are blessed

"My friends are so blessed to have me in their life. This is because I help and listen and cherish them and learn from them. I know when a friend needs a laugh and I am always seeming to be awake in the morning, which makes my friends laugh because they are still half asleep at school. "

"I am blessed with everything, school, teachers, friends, and family. "

"I am blessed because God has given me an amazing family who loves me and cares about me, although my family is large and scattered all over the world we still find ways to spend time together. Whenever I see my cousins or aunts and uncles I feel truly blessed and I know I am a blessing to them with my love and gratitude. "

"Throughout my life I have been blessed with parents who love me and care enough about me to provide me with the opportunity to attend a good school. Instead of just sending me to any school they chose to spend their own money to make sure I receive a good education and to make sure I will be extremely safe in St. Thomas More. Also even though they work every day they take time off of work to pick me up from school then go back to work. My parents do all that and more. They are extremely special and I am blessed for everything they have given me. "

"I am blessed because I have found my motivation. It’s a motivation that has started within me. I think about past regrets and mistakes that I have made in school. This year I feel like a different person, this year I am an 8 th grader and I am dedicated to anything that comes as a challenge through out my last year at STM. I won’t let anything stop me from having a great 8 th grade year because I am blessed. "

"I am blessed because I have a close relationship with everyone in my family. I am blessed because I have so many friends who care about me and support me just like I do them. "

"I am blessed because I have a loving and caring family that supports me and gives me a shoulder to cry on when I am going through hard times."

"We the students at STM are blessed by going to a safe school where we learn a lot and make new friends; we also have great teachers and great students.

"We the people of America are blessed because we have the power of freedom of speech, come countries can not even worship their God or share their beliefs. "

"I am blessed with a loving caring family.
I am blessed with a house
I am blessed with the opportunity to receive a good education
I am blessed with friends.
I am blessed to live in America.
I am blessed because I live in a safe neighborhood,
We are blessed because we live in a free country.
Everyone is blessed because God loves them. "

"I am blessed because I have a grandmother who has overcome the most troubling illnesses to take care of me and my brother. So this is why I am blessed. Many people have very special blessings but I think that my Nana is the most special person in my life. "

"I think that going to this school is a blessing because some of the other schools are not too safe. Some schools you can get hurt because of all the fights that go on."

"My sister is a blessing because she is always there for me. Sometimes she is a pain but she always cares and I love her. I think she is a blessing to my family because my mom’s second baby died of downs-syndrome and my sister is perfect in every shape and form. "

"I am blessed with a loving family who loves me unconditionally and are always there for me.
I am blessed with a good brain, good humor, and the ability to swim well. I am also blessed with great friends who are always there for me."

"I am blessed because my friend in Louisiana survived hurricane Katrina with only some damage to his house. His family was safe and he wasn’t hurt. "

"I am blessed because my mom and dad love and care about me
I am also blessed with my voice because I have a voice from God.
I am a blessing to my friends because if they need help I am there for them. "

"I am blessed because I have a passion for school. Well mostly because friends are here or else it wouldn’t be that fun. So basically my friends are my blessing and school is a little too. "

"My blessing is having friends that care when I am mad or sad. "

"I am a blessing to other people by being kind and polite. "

"My friend Vicki is a blessing to me. When I feel bad like nothing can make me feel better Vicki walks in singing her favorite song that makes me laugh. She has motivating words that cheer me up. You’ll do better next time she always says. "

"I have been blessed with many things but the best blessing God has given me is the talent of playing baseball, I have been playing all my life since I was 5. The first season I played I wasn’t very good. Bit the next season I was a star. Ever since that season I have been the star of all the teams I have been on. Being a baseball player has helped me progress as a person. It helped me to be a good leader and a teacher. One good thing of being a talented baseball player is that many younger kids look up to you, Another good thing of being a good baseball player is that you can teach people how to how to play and also how to have a good attitude. Being a baseball player is the best blessing for me.

"God has blessed me because he has given me a wonderful baby brother. My little brother is the reason I wake up every day, I am also blessed because of my family, without them I wouldn’t be half the person I am today. The class of 07 is a blessing because I will leave STM and have wonderful memories of all my friends in my grade. "

"God has blessed me because I have 2 parents who love me and I have a house to sleep in and food to eat every night. I am also blessed with a great puppy. I am blessed to go to St. Thomas More School and it has been a second home and family. The class of 2007 is a blessing because I will always have great memories of my STM family. I am also a blessing to my kindergarten buddy. "

"I am blessed because I have a family who loves me. God has given me a life and that sis also a blessing. I have been blessed with great (slightly annoying) brothers and a sister. Most of all God has blessed me with great friends. "

"I have blessed others by being kind to others and always trying to tell the truth. I have prayed for the many souls in Purgatory and that is my blessing to them. "

"God has blessed me with my brothers, parents and friends. He has given me all the great things that I have today.
