The entire Lady Tiger Basketball Family would like to wish you all an extremely Happy Thanksgiving. Here are some of the things the Lady Tigers are thankful for this year:LaSONDRA BARRETT: I am thankful for my family because they are my foundation and comfort. They will always be behind me 100% in everything I do. My health and strength, because tomorrow is not promise. Over the years, I've seen so many young people lose their lives, and it makes me just appreciate my life even more. Last but not least all my friends and other people in my life that give me advice on issues, make be a better person, and are there through thick and thin.
SWAYZE BLACK: One thing that I am thankful for would have to be my family. I can always count on my family to be there for me when I need them the most. They understand me better than anyone and I can always depend on them for whatever it is I may need. I feel like I have the best family ever and I love them dearly for everything that they have done for me. I am also thankful to be a part of the Lady Tiger Basketball organization. We have the best coaches that show great care for the players and are committed to the Lady Tiger Way. They have our best interest at heart. I have come to realize how grateful I am for this whole opportunity, and I am thankful for every single part of it.
TAYLOR BOOZE: I have so much to be thankful for, so many blessings have been placed on me and I am very grateful for each and every one of them. The one thing that I am and will always be thankful for is my family. I know it seems very cliche' but it is the truth. I have been through so many ups and downs and through it all my family has stood right by my side, never turning their back on me. My family is my rock and without them I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am now. I give them all the credit and i am extremely thankful for everything they have done for me. I just want to continue to give them a reason to smile and make them as proud of me as I am of them.
LATEAR EASON: I am thankful for having the opportunity to receive a great education from Louisiana State University and also playing basketball for one of the top programs in the country. There are so many individuals who want the opportunity I have but are never granted that opportunity and I am thankful for my opportunity.
ALLISON HIGHTOWER: This Thanksgiving and every Thanksgiving I am always thankful for my family. By family i don't just mean my mom, dad and brother and the rest of my extended family, I am also talking about my Lady tiger family and friends. I am so thankful to have these special people in my life because they have always been their for me through thick and thin. God has given me so much and I am thankful for the people that he has put in my life. I hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Geaux Tigers!
DESTINI HUGHES: I'm thankful for my salvation; for Jesus truly revealing himself to me and changing my life forever! I'm also thankful for my family and the love that they show me each and every day. Lastly, though there is so many blessings to be thankful for, I am thankful for the ability to go to school and play for LSU (especially in front of our loyal fans)! Not many people get to go to college, let alone for free, so I am very thankful and blessed to be in this program.
KATHERINE GRAHAM: During this time of the year everyone begins to reflect on all those thing they are thankful for. For me this Thanksgiving is very special, because I have a greater appreciation for EVERYTHING. I lost two family members that I were close with, and I began to realize that life is short and to take advantage of every opportunity that God grants us. So as we approach this Thanksgiving holiday and I am asked what I am thankful for my response is -- I am thankful for everything; my family, friends, health, knowledge, teammates, coaches, fans, the ability to play, and the gift of LIFE.
COURTNEY JONES: I could name a billion things I am thankful for but the one thing I am most thankful of is my family. My family Mean the world to me. There is not a single day that goes by when I'm thinking about them. They are basically responsible for molding me into the person I am today. The relationships I have with them are special and true. I couldn't asked God for a more perfect family!
ANDREA KELLY: I'm thankful for the healing of my foot. It's so easy to overlook the blessing of walking and being able to run and jump and stay active! I thank God that I will have that opportunity again because there are many people who will not. It's not fun being sick or hurt, and during this Thanksgiving holiday I am grateful for my health and strength!
JASMINE NELSON: One thing I am thankful for is life its self and everyone I have around me that support me through the thick and thin. Ive been through so much in the 20 years that I have been on this earth and god has blessed me dearly to still be here with a wonderful mother and family besides me.
TAYLOR TURNBOW: Thanksgiving is a time for family, a time to think about everything God has blessed you with. Its a time to give thanks. This Thanksgiving I am thankful to be alive, alive and living a dream. Last year to this has been extremely tough, from losing my grandmother, to a loved one battling a deadly disease. I am just Thankful for the little things. Fresh air, food to eat, and a family that will never let me fall short.
ADRIENNE WEBB: I am thankful for family and friends that are so supportive and the opportunity to get a quality education.
ERICA WILLIAMS: It is hard to say that I am thankful for just one thing. I can say that I'm thankful for a million and one things. I am truly thankful for my family and friends. They are a truly a big support system. If I don't have anyone to fall back on I know that they will always be there for me. Let's not forget that my family away from home ( my Lady Tiger Family) is also included.
