After watching that video, I'm grateful for a lot more now. Like WiFi, clean water, a nice house, lots of food, fun things to do and more. I used to complain about having to do a lot work but after watching that video I saw some of the work those people had to do and kind felt stupid for complaining about the little chores I had to do. I also felt bad how I used to complain that I didn’t get all the birthday or Christmas presents I wanted, when there are some people who get nothing at all. After watching this video I am a lot more grateful for what I have now because I understand that what we think everyday life, is a luxury for some people.

There are many things to be grateful for, like how we have advanced tech. People around the world have lot of problems to deal with. Water, food, supply, tech. People are lucky these days because they have such advanced stuff. The people nowadays are so spoiled by the great things of today. Those peeps have bigger, heavier, stronger problems to deal with. We complain about small, stupid, “not big deal” problems. Some problems are: “My phone is out of battery!” or “ugh! we can’t go to DisneyLand this year!!” Many people are dealing with lots of problems and these “problems” are nothing compared to what some others are dealing with.

Some things that I am thankful for is food and water, my school, my car and my house. Some first world problems I have are: My clock with my charger falls on the floor all the time and, after I wash my dog she rolls in dirt. These are some of my first world problems.I can just wash my dog again or just pick up my clock all the time but for these people things are not that simple. I do not have to walk half my day to get water, I do not have to wash my clothes in a river, I feel that we are very spoiled compared to those people and we should be grateful for what we have.

I am thankful for friends, family, school, and Disneyland. I am thankful for friends because if I didn't have any friends I would be lonely and not have anyone to talk about Star Wars. I am also thankful for my family because they help me through tough times by being supportive. PCMS is my school I am thankful for because my teachers care and I’m learning a lot. I’m also thankful for Disneyland because its a place where you can dream and I like creating from my dreams. One thing I sometimes complain about that isn’t really a big deal is when my Xbox freezes during a game. It makes me mad but when I remember the things I am grateful for and struggles my family has been through the Xbox isn’t a big deal and can easily be fixed.

When I watched the video, First World Problems Anthem, I was grateful for all of the privileges America has. We don’t have to worry about how much we can eat or drink, unlike people without clean water and enough food. Our biggest problems are things like bad wifi or when the tv remote breaks and we have to get up to press buttons. With the power shut-offs lately, I realized just how nice it is to be able to flip a switch and have lights, turn a knob and have water, or have a place to keep food cold and cook food easily.

I think this video made everyone who watches it think about all the little things that they have but don't think about. Some things this video made me think about that I was grateful for was even having blankets to sleep under or a bed to sleep on. It also made me gratful for the very littel things that I dont evn think about. It also made me think about how grateful they are for their little things that they have that we might not even think about for instance they get excited when they have even a little bit of food or water. We don't even think about when we're running low on food or water because we don't run low on food and water and they have to be thinking about those things and worry about those things. But instead of us worrying about those things or worrying about our phone charger not reaching our bed are phone dying us not getting dessert or not getting to play video games past a certain time. I think after watching this video I complain about a lot more things that I think I do the are a big of a deal like little things that don't even matter that I get mad or stressed about when other people are there places have way bigger and worse problems than I'm complaining about. I think this video made it change on how I look at things and what are actual problems and what are just little small things that don't really matter.

I am grateful for having a house and a bed to sleep in and to have a phone and to have power. One of my first time problems is when i have to walk to the bathroom at night. I’m grateful for having pets to.

I am grateful for my family and all of our family belongings we have that other kids don't have. Some kids don't have a house or have clean water. They even have to wash their clothes in a river. They need clean water they need shelter. They need what we have. So, please be grateful for what you have and don't think about the little things, think about the big things. Yes, I have complained about small things like, “Darn, my phone isn’t fully charged,” but after this video I realized that this is not a real problem. I believe that we can do more and help others. Be thankful and believe.

There are many things to be grateful for, like having fresh water because a lot of people have to walk miles and miles for fresh water and then walk that same distance back, and that I live in a town like Paradise because some people have it harder than us because there is a lot of bad people out there and, having a house because a lot of people are homeless or living in a trailer.

I have to say that a lot of people say things that are “first world problems” like i don’t want to go get my charger when there are people out there in this world who have to wash their clothes in a river and are starving. I am very grateful for everything I got after the fire and how so many people helped everyone that lost their homes and loved ones. So everyone who are “too lazy to do something” they should think about how many people have helped them probably through their whole life. I am always so grateful for the food I have on my plate and the places I can go like get a good education because i'm capable of going to school. So I would just like everyone to be grateful for what they have you never know it could be gone In matter of seconds

I am thankful for my family, my friends, and my animals. I complain about stuff that isn’t a big deal sometimes like not liking dinner.

I am grateful for school and getting to learn a lot. Next I am grateful for clean water to wash my clothes and drink. Lastly I am grateful for having power and technology. I complain about when my phone isn't plugged in all the way while I am sleeping.

After watching this video, I have thought of many things I'm grateful for. I never really think about the real problems the world has when I'm complaining Things I'm grateful for my house, having a phone, having food and water , clothes, tv. Things I complain about that don’t really matter are getting new clothes, asking for a new phone, my charger not charging my phone when I say there is no food when the pantry and the fridge is full. When there is no soda or water in the fridge and I have to get ice and put water in it and having to turn my tv off when its late and I have to go to bed also not getting help on khan academy when I don’t get it or not getting when I say I need new shoes when I have like fourteen pairs of shoes also so having to run at P.E. or exercising at school.

I am grateful for my family because some people don't have families and they have to live by themselves. They have no family to support and give them money to help them eat food. I am also grateful for food and water because if we didn’t have food and water we would all die of hunger and thirst. Another thing I am grateful for is my life, because it is fun making friends and experience life. Babies die being born and do not get to enjoy the experience of life. So thats what im grateful for.

After I watched the video I realized that I am very great full for a lot of things because I know that some people out there are starving, they need water and they do not have a lot of things that we do and I feel so bad for them like they have to go get water like many miles away and they do not have a washer and a dryer they have to hand wash them in the river and they do not even have a good house.

I am grateful for my family,my cousins uncles and all them.I am grafteful for all these nice friends i have.I am grateful for all my teachers and i am grateful for being alive.Im really grateful for being able to drink nice fresh water and never have to starve and being able to eat having food to it there is lots of familys in this world who wish they could have water and food and have stuff like we have.Lots of people dont even have places to live in and im grateful that i have a house to live in eat sleep and all that.Like kids from all over the world dont even go to school dont have fresh new clothes to wear everyday like we do and we have that stuff like we get to go to school and get taught but the best teachers nice teachers and other kids dont have nice teachers or dont even g to school.Like lots of us kids get mad at our parents for them not buying us the stuff we want and stuff like that not getting a new phone,not being able to do stuff and all sorts of things but like we shouldnt get mad at them we should be happy that your parents give you food take you to school every single day they do everthing they can for you we should be thankful that we are blessed and we have houses to live in and have food and water to drink and eat. So all of us kids should be thankful for what we have we should even be thankful we survived the campfire if it wasnt for our parents and people to get us out of there we would be died but we should all be thankful that us kids came out of the fire alive.Like i get mad when my phone is died when i go to school like that isnt a big deal like i can charge it after school.

After watching the video I released I have many things to be grateful for like clean water, a warm house, good food, and an iPhone. I complain about when I don’t have service to play my phone, or when my sister uses my phone charger, or have to sit in the backseat and not use the seat warmers upfront.

This video made me feel sad to think that some people have to walk so far for food and water. Some of us complain that we have to walk like five feet to get some water. I think that this video made me think about all the things that I complain about that are not a big deal at all. Like on thanksgiving we got to eat lots of food and some people don't get to. I will try to be more grateful for what I have now.

I’m grateful for my house, my animals, clean water, food, health, medicine, school, friends, clothes, and a family. I complain about things that don’t matter, like my mom telling me to do chores, or having to clean up after dinner, and missing school when I am sick. This stuff doesn't matter because there are more important things in life than complaining about the things that don't matter. This video tells me that you don’t have to complain about things in life that don’t even matter.
