Thanksgiving and its History

Thanksgiving is a holiday is a celebrated across the U.S., but did you know that when it was first celebrated in 1621 that the Plymouth colonist didn’t celebrate it year after year like how it is now. Let me give you a little summary of how Thanksgiving became a national holiday. In 1621 the Plymouth colonist who settled here from England were looking to sail to freedom to practice their own faith began to settle to the “New World”. The colonist first celebrated Thanksgiving to reward themselves of a successful harvest they grew and with that they invited the local Wampanoag Indians to celebrate their achievements with a three day long feast that included eating, hunting, and entertainment.

Kindness is Key

There are many ways to show acts of kindness because kindness comes in many different ways. I think the boy from Contras high school had to have shown the biggest act of kindness because there was a boy with a mental disorder who loved basketball and always dreamed of playing with his teammates but never could because of his disorder. But what he didn’t know was that his coach was going to put him in the game. Although the thunder birds were winning by 15 all the shots that were passed to Mitchell he would miss but it would be at that point that his love of basketball would become much more when the boy from Contras  passed the ball to Mitchell even though they were on opposite teams, Mitchell would get the ball and score ending the game with a victory and having everyone from the stands rush down to him with joy. And because ball is life he can still love basketball.

“ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

I believe this quote means that when you associate with the ones who do the right thing and always do what’s right are wise and makes you wise as well but when you associate with the ones who don’t do the right then you’re a fool for being around them.
