This is a plate that me and my teammates had this Thanksgiving. It has Mac and Cheese, Honey Ham, Turkey, Sweet potato’s, Salad, Green Beans, and Mash potato’s. Which is on a paper plate. At home my mother will make my wouldn’t have made salad because it didn’t comply with the meal that we were consuming. It didn’t really taste as good as my moms cooking but it was the only thing i had.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that I used to enjoy with my family. It was the one holiday that all my family members came together to celebrate for the first time ever year besides family reunions. Just like other families, it is arguably the most wonderful day besides Christmas, where people come together and enjoy the greatest meal ever prepared by their family. Thanksgiving is a day that you show thanks and appreciate the ones that you love and enjoy. As of now, my meaning of Thanksgiving has changed. Since I became a college student-athlete, I have lost the joy that I had about Thanksgiving. The reason I say this is because I can no longer be with my family and love ones on this joyful day. The reason this is because I have a football game on the week of Thanksgiving which means I have to practice on Thanksgiving which is quite disappointing. While everyone else is have a good time with there families and friends, my teammates and I have to throw ours aside to entertain people who watch us on TV. Besides that, Thanksgiving is kind of joyful for me because I get to spend it with my teammates who I call my brothers. Even though we’re thousands of miles from our family, we still find a way to make it enjoyable. We come together in the team dining hall and have a dinner that our coaches provides for us and we try to forget about being home and just enjoy the time we have with each other which makes it a special sports Thanksgiving.
