Im going to talk about the most common walk almost all of us take every other day. The walk from Lone Peak High School. Allllll the waayy to Lone Peak Seminary. The walk is about 100 yds,
during this long walk.
Our textbooks transform into Book of Mormons and Bibles.
Our "thoughts" of that girl in A1 change to our thoughts of eternal marriage
Our plans for college change to our plans to serve missions... Or go to BYU
Our worries about grades change to worries for repentance
Our daily homework changes to daily scripture study and prayer
Our songs change from Miley Cyrus to Hymn #127
Our Teachers go from Mr. to Brother.
Then about an hour and half later we walk back into school as if nothing changed.
But that's life everyone has multiple identities, if we didn't then life would be boring.

Our deepest fear
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
When I first read this I thought it was STUPID. Why the F would we be scared of the good things about us? Then I started thinking.. How many times have I acted dumb just to satisfy other people? How many times have I known the answer in class but didn't raise my hand? How many times have I felt embarrassed because I actually liked a class and was good at it? How many times have I written something and erased it cuz I thought it was "too serious" or it looked like I "tried too hard".
Whoever wrote this was a freaking GENIUS its easy to write "I'm scared to fail", but are we? Failing is too easy, getting bad grades is too easy, not trying hard is too easy. we all say we are scared of these things, then why do we keep doing it?? Why don't we do the things we love and show off how good we are at it? Why don't we shoot up our hands in class when we KNOW the answer? The craziest part of all this is that I'm just thinking of all the things that I'm holding back because I'm scared, I have no IDEA what everyone else is holding back. MIND BLOWN. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

IDK what love is
IDK what love is. I've been here for awhile trying to think of something amazing and beautiful to put on a this page. Something that will make people smile, laugh, and cry. I couldn't think of anything. But I was sitting next to my 90 year old grandpa. When I saw him look into the distance and begin to grin. I looked to where he was staring to see my 87 year old grandma who was standing about 15 ft. away in here modest neck-tight, no ankle showing, shoulder-pads, Sunday dress, she was unaware that my grandpa was looking. When she looked back at him his smile instantly grew, then he said to me
"Isn't she beautiful!"
If that isn't love then IDK what is.
"Isn't she beautiful!"
If that isn't love then IDK what is.
10x-3(2+x)=15
Im sitting in math class trying to figure out the answer for 10x-3(2+x)=15, when it hit me..
WHO the freak cares what 10x-3(2+x)=15 is?!
Why does our education system require us to learn so much math? And I know what a lot of you are thinking. This kid is just Lazy and sucks at math, and your right, but this a serious question. We are wasting too much time on Calculus and Algebra when we should be taking classes that will actually help us.
