Gratitude Girl

Running through the airport with one hand holding my beltless pants and the other being pulled by my dad is one of my oldest memories. I was four and on my way to see the world. I've traveled quite a bit since then and become familiar with many cultures, each of which has left an impact on me. Teaching ESL has allowed me to meet people from various backgrounds as well. I've adopted some customs and ignored others. I am who I am because of what I've seen and whom I've met – and I'm grateful.

Dear Toomaj: You've been on my mind... I respect you for being a morally upright person and a great artist. I love your work. You bring up the societal issues in Iran and fight corruption in a magnificent way through your rap songs. Thank you for being the voice of the people. Thank you for all you do to make your country and this world a better place. Thank you for being you! I'm sorry you have been arrested by this unjust regime. It breaks my heart that you are under torture. Your message to the people has been clear, though: Keep fighting the good fight! Your sisters and brothers are doing just that. We all appreciate your work and respect your strength. We are all grateful for you. Love, Respect, ... & Gratitude Noosha Ravaghi

My University Students

Dear Reading & Writing 7 Students: You've been on my mind... Adriana, Leyda, Remy, Rikuya, Rino, Kosuke, and Pedro, I am so very proud of you! As of today, all of you have published your books and officially become authors. I gave you a huge writing project six weeks ago, and you all completed it... in only six weeks. I am also very grateful for each one of you! This was a huge project for me, too, and today I feel I've achieved an important task. Without you, I wouldn't have this feeling of accomplishment. I appreciate all your work in my not-so-easy writing class. Thank you for supporting each other during this arduous process. Congratulations!!! Love... Noosha Ravaghi

Anthology

Have you ever thought of a fictional character as your hero? Have you ever created a fictional character in your writing that you would want the world to know about? If the answer to any of the questions above is yes, write a letter of gratitude to that fictional character and submit it to the anthology in the works. Please find the details for this project here: https://gratigi.blogspot.com/2023/08/submission-guidelines.html
