I am thankful for music and my ability to hear it. I am thankful for hearing aids, I am thankful for my contact lenses, I am thankful for my friends, I am thankful for the beauty in nature and my ability to see it, I am thankful for being so lucky for not being born into poverty, illness, and little hope for anything better than those two things. I am grateful for Tom Morello's ultimate guitar skillz as well as my ticket to go to his concert. Another thing I am thankful for is my 10th grade English teacher, Mr. Tlumack. He couldn't possibly have been a better teacher. I will never forget him.
