November is the month when all Americans direct their thoughts toward what they are most thankful for. (It’s also — on Thanksgiving — a time for some major-league gorging on Turkey, stuffing and whatever else granny and the fam cook up. Our digestive tracts still haven’t recovered.) Before the Thanksgiving Break, the Wire asked its readers — the North Atlanta student population — what they are most thankful for and their insightful, cryptic and hilarious responses are below. We’re thankful for you, North Atlanta. You continue to inspire us! (And you give us plenty to write about.)
