Gratitude: Part 5

 


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.

Sabah Joseph: "I am grateful to be here in America. The biggest blessing that I am grateful for is education. I value education a lot as this is not something that you can get easily in other countries especially for girls. I am blessed and grateful for my work and the people I work with, because they support and provide guidance. Lastly I am grateful for my Parents who is always with me in every walk of life."
