Gratitude Challenge: Write About 3 Things You're Grateful For This Year
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to write for this contest that is running by @goodybest, here is the link if you are also interested:
Since I was very young, I love this beautiful dance ballet. Maybe one of the reason is the beautiful dresses, they are light and short that make the legs of dancers long and they all look like dolls.
My grandmother knew that I always wanted to visit Ballet because when I was little and she was looking after me we watched a lot ballet and that was time when I was sitting still and could stay there without eating for hours.
Since I grown up we always made a joke that one day me and my grandma will go together with ballet, of course, I knew that my grandma will not go because it was quite far away and I knew that she is frail.
When I had Easter holiday my grandma came to me with a little envelope and said that is my present, I thought that this is a lit of cash for pocket expenses but when opened it I was puzzled, she presented me a ticket for Ballet show. Of course, I was very happy, the next she told me that she will come together with me and that made me so happy. I recalled how we were talking about that so that one day we will go to the show together in reality I thought it will never happen, but it was a case and we had wonderful evening that I never forget.
A friend of my had a younger sister in primary 2, one day just couple of day before she asked me if I am free to help out in school. One of the teachers were off sick so they asked if anyone would be happy to help with young children but also to organise everything. The plan was to hide sweets in school garden and also to entertain children.
I actually did not know if I will manage that I never had been looking after so many little kids at one time but agreed to help my friend.
It was very exciting to come early to prepare decoration and also to hide the sweets. Soon the children started to come and parents left them there now we were responsible for kids and I saw how it was everyone did what he or she wanted. In order to keep them together we decided to organise games and that made us to keep kids together. The next we went out and kids we competing with each other who will fin more of those sweets.
By the end fo the day we because good friends and kids asked if I come back. Since then I visited the kids few times till their summer holidays. That experience gave me nice feeling how to manage a difficult situation, how to plan something and also it was great result.
I do not know how about you but my friends and people who I know all can swim, that is why it was my goal for this year to learn swimming. I sign up myself for swimming classes and was visiting them for the last 6 months.
My main issue I hate water in my ears and nose, I just can't have it. After few classes, my tutor offered to use a swimming rubber hat for my ears but also there is a clip that sometimes swimmer who do synchronic swimming using. I immediately agreed to try.
The time went by and after 5 months of training I then was able to swim even without feeling of ground under my feed.
That was a great achievement for me and when we were in summer on holiday I also like others were able to go into swimming pool where it was deep. That was great feeling.
I hope you also learnt something interesting today and I would like to invite @dave-hanny, @meriseptriyanti @djvijay for the contest.
My grandma made my childhood a lot fun. Good you still got yours.
It is important for children to have happy childhood, I am pleased to find that you have had loving grandma :)
Great to know the things you're grateful for, from having a ticket to ballet dance show, helping out and learning how to swim. Showing gratitude for little gives room for more to come.
Best wishes to you.
Yes, there are sometimes simple stuff that we do not pay attention in the past but we appreciate later on.
That's absolutely true.
Visiting ballet with your grandmother, assisting your buddy in organizing Eater Fest, and learning to swim are the most grateful moments in your life this year.
These are incredibly fortunate opportunities that you have in your lifetime.
Ballet, Helping kids and learning swimming.

It was truly a dream come true for you to watch ballet with your lovely grandma. I believe that the memory will be cherished forever. Taking care of young ones is rewarding, and you will learn something from them. Congratulations on becoming an expert swimmer; it's a skill I don't possess. Thank you for participating in this contest.
