Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend we were allowed an extra day off of school. I was unbelievably busy this weekend as I was helping out my community at the fair. My job was to supervise as well as assist in the cleaning of the fair. My first shift was fon the Friday we were dismissed from 5pm -10pm. It was pretty fun. There really wasn’t any trash. The Saturday I had to get up early and go to church.After church I had to race back to my house and change into close that was suitable to clan in all day. I didn’t even have the chance to take off my make up. I actually ended up taking my little sister and while we were on break we went inside the petting zoo. It was pretty boring because I was scared of touching the animals. After we were done going over the fair twice we were able to get on some rides. After the fair my sister and I had to change to go to a party. At the party I was sleeping, which I really regret because it bothered my mom. Sunday morning I had to go to the fair early but we had some setbacks which took quite a while to recover from. I was in charge by myself until one of my members took charge along side me. We ended up taking both shifts so we worked from 12am all the way to 10pm. We helped this lady sell her organic lotions. The highlight of that day was going under the stage where people we ingin live to retrieve a table. It was pretty cool. On Monday I took a break from the fair to catch up on homework. It was a pretty productive weekend.  

“When a deep injury is done to us we never recover until we forgive.”

By: Alan Paton  

I like to believe that there is nothing worse than envy and resentment. In this statement Alan Paton clearly explained the route out of resentment. He stated that forgiveness is the only way to recover. I completely agree with this because if you don’t forgive then you are always going to hold on to that. If you want to hold on to something bad that some other person did to you it is completely fine. The only thing to remember is that is only going to set you back. I like to think of God when forgiving. The Lord is merciful and he will not leave us there he will forgive us so that we grow and learn from our mistakes. He wants us to be the best people we can be and for that we need to learn how to forgive. If we are able to forgive we can not only brighten our day but somebody else's’ day as well. A more specific example would be when someone goes behind your back and says something mean about you. You will not talk to that person because they lost your trust but also because you feel bad that they would do something like that. The other friend feels bad for doing that but you decide not to forgive them . That will only hurt you in the long run because it will be in you that you didn’t give them a second chance but Jesus died to give us a second chance. That is when we have to realize that we shouldn’t hold grudges or the feeling of hatred. We are all born to love and forgive each other. That is just the way I look at it. With that said I will continue to live with my mentality and Paton’s view on life.

“Dare to do right.”

By: Rex D. PINEGAR

Doing or choosing the right is never the easiest thing to do. When we are growing up we want to show that we are tough, that we are more than others and we do things that we might not realize how dangerous they really are. Rex D. Pinegar wants to show us that we can really affect others by choosing the wrong as he did when he was a seven year old boy. As a boy he wanted to prove that he was the fastest boy in school so he was dared to run across a street before a car passed. He chose the wrong by accepted the dare and running across the street. He got hit by the car and was knocked unconscious. His example just comes to show how powerful dares are. He, like Thomas Monson, daring us to what is right. It is a bit different in the sense of the wording that they chose but what I think that Pinegar is telling us is that instead of accepting the dares that may lead to failure or may hurt someone follow the dares that will make you better. An example of a good dare is wearing your uniform, going to work/school everyday,  Those dares will make us better people as they are encouraging us to do the right thing. When it comes to doing the wrong thing we want to avoid that now that we are all going to dare to be good. An example of choosing the bad is jumping off anything, hurting someone, or even bother someone can be disastrous. I had already promised to dare to live a CTR lifestyle. I have somewhat completed this as I do not always

“ Dare to stand alone.”

By: Thomas S. Monson

Thomas S. Monson doesn’t mean to be completely alone. He means that you need to be alone when the people around you are doing the bad. You need to dare being alone while doing the right then to be with other who are doing nothing but choosing the wrong. I have seen several statements related to this one prior to this but Thomas S. Monson’s wording stood out more than the others. When I saw that he dares us to be alone I thought it was so different. The way IO think others will interpret this is that he is telling you to do something even though you don’t want to do it, because that is the literal meaning of a dare.I also thought it was funny because he is telling you to do something maybe you don’t want to by daring you while telling you not to do what others are doing because that is what you might want to do. An example if this quote, or statement, is at a wild party. If you are at a party where everyone else is drinking and smoking that is where the dare part of this quote comes to play. You are dared to not drink and choose what is right rather than to be part of a crowd and choosing the wrong. I actually like this statement because of how different it is but is still able to convey the same message. I, personally, think that this quote is going to impact me in the long run.

“ If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else will fall into line. If I do the right thing then I’m going to succeed.”

BY: Dan Dierdorf

What the former offensive lineman is trying to say that If you dream plausible then there is no chance that you will ever fail. If you dream something then you have to work your hardest to achieve it. You have to keep it on your mind until you accomplish it. An example I could think of is picking a university. You could choose a University because you like it, then you have to dream it and make it a goal. You have to work your hardest to make sure you get accepted into that university. Your main goal is to go attend the university then you will try your hardest to get there. You are going to be too focused on making it there that you have no time to goof off and do wrong. That is why I think he made the second sentence. He said that if you do the right thing you're going to succeed and if you follow your dreams they are going to lead you to more success. I will dream to complete this year with great achievements and this here statement is going to my motivator.
