Thanksgiving

Since the early of 17^th century, the first Thanksgiving has been celebrated in Virginia, North America. The event is named differently from one country to another, though the concept is quite the same. The origin of Thanksgiving in US was to show gratefulness of the pilgrims, who traveled to the land of opportunities for religious purposes, to the native American , red Indian, who taught them to grow corns, catch the fishes , in order to survive in the new land.

In the US, it is celebrated in the 4^th week of November. Over the year, Thanksgiving has not been used to thank only the Native American, but also it has become the symbol of festival seasons – School holiday, Merry Christmas, New Year etc.

Likewise, I am on the early state of my school holiday, after the headache and suffering pains SMU had given me. With this precious opportunity, Please allow me to show my gratefulness to YOUs with this word of THANKS.
