My first day of school was the proudest day of my life, because I was given a second chance for a better life.
I enjoy learning new things. We learned the sit and stay commands today. With a little practice, I will get better.
I couldn’t wait to get home from school to tell Malcolm all about my day. I tell Malcolm everything; even my biggest, darkest secrets. Malcolm is my neighbor and best friend. Yep– he’s a cat. He’s orange colored with stripes. It’s embarrassing to walk down the street with him because he’s so much bigger than I am. It amazes me how smart he is. If I study hard in school, maybe I’ll be as smart as he is.
One of the biggest life lessons I learned while I lived on the streets was to appreciate all the little things my friends take for granted. Things like having someplace to go to at the end of the day, a warm bed to sleep at night, and food and water whenever I’m hungry or thirsty.
My life has changed so much, and I need to remember to give thanks everyday. These are the things I am grateful for today.
1. My family
2. My home
3. Food
4. A warm bed
5. Malcolm
In gratitude,
Frasier
