With Thanksgiving coming up, this is the time of year when we pause to give thanks for the many blessings we have in our lives. We come together with our families to eat good food, watch football, and reminisce on all the blessings we have. I asked some fellow GC students what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving, and there were many overlapping themes including family and friends,
Here is what they had to say.
I’m very grateful for the opportunity to attend GC and become part of the community. I’m thankful that all of my family and friends are in good health.

We definitely do have a lot to be thankful for. If you haven’t already, take a few minutes to reflect on what you’re thankful for this Thanksgiving season- it doesn’t have to be anything big at all! Having an “attitude of gratitude” really does go a long way!
Hope you all have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
