MAY MAY MAYYYYY

Well, today is just a GREAT day! Today I was walking down the hall and I saw this kid sitting against the wall and it looked like he was crying, and the hallway was packed but no one stopped to help him. But then this guy turned around and went and help him and asked if he was okay. I'm just glad that there are people like that in this world who, when everyone just chooses to ignore him, goes and helps the person who needs it. That's the kind of person who I want to be! I don't even know who that guy was the reached out to the boy on the ground but I have so much respect for him, and I look up to him. That's the kind of person I want to be friends with. I really hope that someday I can be like him! That moment was one that put together everything I talk about on this blog. Standing for what is right even if it means standing alone, reaching out to others, and Doing the little things for people because they can have a big impact. I'm just so glad I witnessed that moment today because I really needed to get perspective on things today and that really did it for me!

So I saw this picture the other day and decided more people need to see this! Because it's easy to just go with the flow of what everyone else my age is doing, even if its not right. But who wants to be known as the kind of person who will fall for anything, who will lower their standards for anything, and who will do something that they know is wrong. And I think standing for something makes it easier to not fall for anything. While many of the other kids at my school are drinking every weekend , doing drugs, and who knows what else, it makes it easier for me to not do those things because I know I have to stand for what I believe in. I know that in the big scheme of things, doing those things will NEVER be worth it, no matter how much pressure you have to do them. Standing for something is always worth it in the end. Maybe I'll be known as the good Mormon at school or a goody two shoes but I don't care! I know I'm happier for not falling under that peer pressure and I'm proud of it! People might make fun of my beliefs, but I'm SO happy with where I am in my life and what I'm doing and who I am, and I would probably guess that those people who make fun of those beliefs aren't as truly happy.

Last weekend was Mormon Prom and it was SOOO much fun! I'm so glad I have the friends that I do! And my date was the greatest! Here's some pictures :)
