It was Thanksgiving morning and I was pretty excited because I knew that day I was going to eat a lot of delicious food.

A few hours past and it was almost time to go to my aunt's house where we were having our Thanksgiving dinner at.…

A.J. has a pretty good idea of what he wants to do after he graduates from college.…
