by Simone E., Editor-in-Chief There’s still a few weeks before Thanksgiving and the wonderful Thanksgiving break; however, it’s not too late to start thinking about what you’re thankful for. It may even help you remember why you’re doing what you’re doing, or why you’re stressed about the things that you’re stressed about. I talked to a representative sample of about 100 students on campus and found that people were either taken aback by my simple question, “What are you thankful for?” or they were thankful that I made them think about all that they have to be thankful for. So, here’s a wordle (above) and a few quotes. (A Wordle makes the words that were said the most, bigger than the words that weren’t said as many times.)
Some memorable quotes: Student: “Can I say wine?” Interviewer: “How old are you?” Student: “...maybe I shouldn’t say wine.” “Family. Without family I wouldn't able to do the things I do now.” “My little brother. He's the light of my life.” “Clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and food in my stomach.” “Relationships I've been able to build in life.” “Being the first male in my family to graduate college.” “I have a stronger relationship with God and that's really helped me.” “That I'm a woman and can have an education.” “There's a lot to be thankful about. We all get caught up in the hustle and bustle. There's really so much to be thankful for.” The Torch: Reborn staff hopes you remember what you're thankful for and we hope that it keeps you going for the rest of the semester.
