Gratitude: Part 4

 


The simple act of expressing gratitude has the power to uplift ourselves and others. Gratitude provides perspective and can help us find acceptance in difficult situations. The practice of gratitude has the potential to bring peace in the present and inspire us to be our best selves for the future.


We asked the SLCC community to take a moment for reflection to answer the question, “What are you grateful for and why?” In a series of posts this month we hope answers from students and staff will bring peace and positivity into your day. 


Ethan Eldred


Ethan Eldred: "I’m grateful for my girlfriend Avery because she does so much for me but I’m also just grateful for the chance to be at school. I think it’s awesome that SLCC has so many programs to help us get through school but on top of that I’ve had some of my best relationships with my teachers, who have taught me life lessons, that I plan on using for the rest of my life."


Emily Barnes


Emily Barnes: "I am grateful for the rain and snow because I want to see our reservoirs fill up again."


Luz Gamarra


Luz Gamarra: "I am very grateful to have a job that I enjoy. I work in a wonderful place that gives a lot of opportunities to diverse populations and I am grateful to be one of them."
