Kids From Around-the-World Grateful Graffiti
Junior Editor's Note
by Brittney S.
Hi. I'm Brittney S., the Junior Editor of WannaBet Online Magazine for Kids
Concerned About Gambling.
The theme for this issue of WannaBet is Kids Around the World Grateful
Graffiti, and many readers have e-mailed us about what they are grateful for.
As it turns out, many people thought alike when it came to deciding what was
most important to them during these times of reflection.
Many people wrote that they were grateful for friends and family. Once
respondent writes, "I am thankful of everything and everyone in my life, who
have made me what I am today." Our family and friends have a different
perspective on our actions and opinions than we do, and through their
viewpoints and support they help us learn and grow.
Blessings are another thing many readers were grateful for. Not only food or
clothing, but the other people who make a difference in our lives and the times
we've shared with them, such as teachers, coaches, or maybe doctors who have
made the ultimate difference between life and death in your own or a loved
one's life.
There were so many more things our repondents were grateful for, such as life,
self-confidence, education, peace, and people who have positively influenced
our lives.
When we really think about the things that are the most important to us, the
things or people who make a positive difference in our lives, we realize that
things like gambling aren't on the list.

Grateful

Grateful
For Rain, for sunshine and air
Grateful
For family, and friends who care
Grateful
For children, who know not of war
Grateful
Their love is a kind we adore
Grateful
For laughter, for good carefree fun
Grateful
For friend's shoulders that catch tears when they come
Take nothing for granted
Not even this night
Delight in small joys
And celebrate life
