text: for what in your life do you feel most grateful?   i am grateful that i have such wonderful parents.  they may have been very strict when i was younger (making sure i didn't do drugs, hang out with the wrong crowd or drop out of school).  i am now 23 years old, i have graduated from college, i work a full time and i am getting ready to go back to school for my masters.  i always thought my parents were ruining my childhood but now i am so thankful.  i know my parents wish they could have helped me pay for college or help me with my bills but i am so happy i grew up the way i did and i would never change my parents for anyone or anything in this whole world!
