用感恩改变你的心态

威廉-安托万·L.11年级
I want to talk about a topic that truly resonates with me: gratitude. 我们都知道, it’s very easy to get caught up in this crazy life at Stanstead, but I want to remind you all to not forget the little things that make it special.  
 
我想和大家分享一个小故事. 当我五岁的时候, 我被诊断出患有一种叫做肾囊肿的遗传性疾病, 我的肾脏和, 简而言之, 让他们都停止工作. Due to this, I was in the hospital for most of my childhood, as I needed dialysis. I was hooked up to a machine through tubes that were connected to my heart. 
 
值得庆幸的是, 经过一些测试, 我们商量好了,我爸可以把他的一个肾给我, 我爸爸毫不犹豫地站出来了. Ever since then I have been living a 健康y, almost normal life. 我确实每天早晚都吃药, I do have appointments at the hospital regularly and I do have limitations on some aspects of my life, 但最后, I look around and find myself very lucky because some people have it much harder than I do. 
 
These life challenges have taught me to appreciate every moment because you never know when it will slip away. 在反思我的人生, there are numerous aspects for which I am truly grateful and I would like to share a few with you all. 
  • 家庭  
  • 我的室友兼好朋友JC
  • 和高尔夫球队在大森林 
  • The little rascals knocking on my door every morning begging me to open the TOD 
  • 早上醒来 
对我来说, acknowledging the things that I am grateful for daily has given me a new perspective on how I choose to approach certain things. Some people decide to live their lives as if nothing were a miracle, while others decide to live their lives as if everything was a miracle. Knowing that makes you realize that some things are taken for granted.
 
事实上,它可以给你一个积极的生活心态. Instead of approaching certain situations with a lack of motivation and negative attitude, 它可以帮助你以积极的心态接受新的体验.  例如, 对我来说, when I have a full day with no spares and I’m tired and just unmotivated, it makes it easier 对我来说 to get through that day knowing that golf practice is waiting 对我来说. 
 
So just keep in mind, that when things are down, think about all the things that are up.
