Thanksgiving is a holiday where you can celebrate with friends and family the things we are thankful for. The holiday is celebrated by having different dishes to serve for others we care about. Some people stick to what is traditional with the original holiday feast,while others do their own traditions. Everyone celebrates this holiday almost the same way because it only takes someone or something you truly are thankful for to make it a Thanksgiving.

Crawford celebrates his holidays with traditional foods and desserts.
Reginae Salter is a junior and she is also on the girl’s basketball team. “My basketball team is important to me, but not as important as my friends and family,” Salter said. She said her family has all kinds of different foods for Thanksgiving, but she is not sure what to anticipate this year.
Kiana Johnson is a senior and this is her last year. She has been here since freshman year and she enjoys it here. “There are a few things I am thankful for my family, my friends, and I can not forget my boyfriend, senior Gerald Carter.

These students are all similar to each other because they all celebrate a special holiday with someone they are truly thankful for. It does not matter what race, religion, or backgrounds we all come from, we are all the same in many ways. So go have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the special person you are thankful for.
