A Happy Little Thing Called "Thank You"

This video was about a research done in the University of Boston. The research was done to prove that gratitude, can decrease stress, improve self-love, and increase happiness. During my English 101 class, we were asked to do about the same thing, for one of our assignments. The 30 students in Boston were asked to write a letter to the person that they were most grateful for. After writing the letter they were asked to call the person and read it to them. It was fun seeing their expression when they were asked to call the person and actually read it to them. During school assignments many time we write on how proud or thankful we are for our parents/friends, but when do we actually take the time to tell them? we never really tell them. This assignment was really different from the others. Some of the student were able to control their emotion when expressing their gratitude, and others weren't very successful. It was really fun watching the different reactions of the students.
