And Now...

I have learned that as long as you can stand up and behind your beliefs and you have a reason for doing so, you will be making a solid decision. I realized that unconscious role media plays in our life and that we have to be aware of the true reasons when purchasing products. As I move forward from this class, I will make sure that I keep educated on situations in the news. I will take the time to formulate my opinions on the Church teachings and social norms. I have learned that it is okay to have my own opinion that may be different.  I through my blogs I have seen my opinions grouped into one place. Just as Maddie and Tara say relationships should be self-sacrificing and self-fulfilling, I want to be in a relationship where I can help him to grow while also growing myself.

My religion is a very important part of my life and I have learned to use it to my advantage. I take the time out of my day to calm down and reflect. However, I do not always agree with everything the Church says or does. Holy Saturday is a period of calm waiting. It gives us a chance to reflect on our hectic lives. As we wait together for Christ, we are drawn closer together as a community. We are all waiting for the same person, but we wait for different reasons and in our own ways.
In this stressful time of waiting and anticipation, I will know that God is always with me and that his plan for me will be fulfilled. I need to put my trust in Him and wait it out. At this point in the college search, all my hard work is done. Now it is left up to Him. I must make the choice that is best for me from the choices given to me. I will being to live in the moment for because as Drake says, "YOLO." I am happy to be where I am in life and thankful for all the opportunities that have been given to me.
