Two St. John Bosco students pen award-winning essays Last week we had the information that St. John Bosco’s Miah Mager had place first in the state among 7th graders for a thankful essay while fellow Patriot Malachi Graham-Pile was 2nd among 6th graders. This week we are able to share their winning essays: Miah Mager, 1st place among 7th graders in the state
I'm grateful for my community. Why
you may ask, because I've been here my entire life and every time
I travel to different cities or towns I do not ever think of living
there and am so grateful for where I live. I live in Cottonwood Idaho
and go to a wonderful school St. John Bosco. People may say that this
town is very boring and there's nothing to do, if you actually spend
time here you would enjoy it. I can walk to my friend's house in a
minute without waiting to walk across a street. There are no stop
lights here, just stop signs. St. Marys church is always pact on
Sundays for church. I've never been in a car while someone behind us
honked rudely because we were going too slow or talking to someone who
was on the sidewalk. I'm hoping to live in Cottonwood for my whole life
and to also raise my children here if I have any. If I have children I
hope they will love this town as much as I do. I pray that this town
will stay the same for as long as I live. Malachi Graham-Pile, 2nd place among 6th graders in the state
I'm grateful for my friends and
family. My friend has helped me overcome stuff I struggled with. I am
also grateful for the chance to do a lot of activities. 4-H has taught
me patience with my goat, even though I still struggle with patience.
Hard work has made me humble and way less whiney. I also lost a lot of
weight with 6 years on the farm. Two years ago I started football and
wasn't really good at it but I have gotten better and this year my
nickname is Freight Train. I've also had other struggles that I
overcame and I am grateful for that. Now I'm working on not lying and
staying organized, soon I will get better at those things too. That is
what I'm GRATEFUL for. |
