Thankful for Classmate

Where to start... I am thankful for Sarah Sanchez. I met Sarah in October of Freshmen year. I had overheard her talking about a class that I was taking and finally found my chance to stir up conversation with her. I wasn't too keen on talking to girls back then so school usually helped me out. We began talking more and one thing led to another and now we're inseparable.

I'm thankful that she continued talking to me because she always seemed to push me, whether it be studying to get good grades or helping me make friends, Sarah seemed to have a skill that I never had: being social. I used to be a 'keep-to-myself' kind of guy and Sarah changed that. Sarah was also filled with persistence. She never gave up. She struggled in math and I would offer to tutor her and she was never hesitant for help. She accepted her obstacles, something I never had the courage to do. I would help her with that and she would continue on. She aced all of her classes and continues to do so.

I'm thankful because she is a great friend who is always there for me. I know that we might part and go our different ways, but I plan to keep in touch with her. Anyways, thank you Sarah. Thank you for everything.
