Description

Gratitude has a way of increasing the good things that come to and from us, as positivity begets and multiplies positivity.

Teens are often criticized for being entitled, greedy, spoiled, and ungrateful.

Teens who demonstrate a spirit of gratitude also draw people to them and inspire a desire to help them succeed and reach their goals.

This, in turn, results in a strong network of connections, superb college recommendations, employment tips, and great job offers.
