Memorial Day Weekend

I spent my Memorial weekend at Bakersfield. I enjoyed it because I got to spent time with my church friends and my family all together. I got to meet some new people and made new friends. In the first and second stay in Bakersfield, I went hiking with my new friends and my sister. We enjoyed this but had a lot of accidents and slipping. After hiking we went to the river and it was beautiful seeing everything and nature. After all of my adventures my family and I went to go stay at a hotel and as soon as we arrived we didn't waste time to get in. The next day, my church friends invited my sister and  I to play volleyball with them. We stayed to play with for about and hour and then went to go eat carne asada with my family. All of this made me, and everyone, so tired so we went home and were dismissed by everyone. Once I got home I spent the rest of the day watching the last episodes of my favorite show "How To Get Away With Murder". After finishing the show I started watching another show called "Skins", an old British show. Some ctr experiences I had during my break were when I was with my church friends. We had to make acts of kindness to people we don't really know.

"When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

~Alan Paton

When someone is injured, all they want is to get better. It is the same for us in, maybe, an emotional way. Sometimes people break other people and it affects them in many ways like emotionally, spiritually, or physically. No one likes a bruised soul, so in order to heal all that is needed is forgiveness. Forgiveness will heal the bruises because it makes sure that there is no more hate between both people. An example can be when you're in a relationship and your partner is being abusive in different ways. You decide it's over, but later you figure that his/her past wasn't a very good one so you now understand his behavior. You then go see them and they try to ask for forgiveness only and you forgive them. This is an example of two broken heart being mended again. Forgiveness made both of the people feel better because they now understand the truth and don't have hate anymore.

"Dare to do right."

~Rex D. Pinegar

Rex D. Pinegar shares his story about the truth of daring, and dares us to do the right. When you dare someone to do something, you are 50% making them, plus their decision there's a more chance they will do the dare. This brings us to the dare in which you're giving. Is it dangerous, risky, or a good dare? No is made to do anything here but once daring gives in, it seems like you have no choice. In order to make a good dare, you need to look at what you're going to ask and to whom. Dare your friends to do their homework, or your brother to organize his room. These are the words Pinegar would say to rephrase his statement. One example of a bad dare is when you dare  someone to drink, smoke, or steal. These are dares that can bring bad consequences to you. An example of a good dare is when you dare someone to finish their homework, or to race around a track. These are little dare in which you can have fun in.

"Dare to stand alone."

~Thomas S. Monson

Thomas Monson tells us to dare and stand alone. What this means is to stand away from others, from the bad influences in our life. This will keep us from imitating what happens around the world, the bad decisions, the bad language, ect. When we stand alone, we show others that we don't need the help from people who will only make our lives more problematic. For example, when it comes to deciding something in our lives, our friends always try to help us out on it. We usually ask for help too. However, they may end up making you take the wrong path like instead of saying not to get hurt, they tell you to go fight. Theses are the only decision bad influence give us. On the other hand, the decision you should make should be to go apologize to the person and forgive them in return. This way, you don't hurt yourself and someone emotionally/physically, but you make it better.

"If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing , I'm going to succeed."

~Dan Dierdorf

Dan Dierdorf shows us that in life only putting goals into it will make it life. Otherwise, some may seem like they're going the right way but they're actually falling. Life can be masked as an easy way through many things, but in order to be successful we need to open our eyes and see color not black and white. An example can be when students cheat on a test, they've cheated their way through their goal. The student who by themselves finished the test, will be the one who actually know the answer, and later on in life when they see a similar problem, they won't hesitate to say the answer. This shows how those who make the right goals and do them the correct way, will have everything else fall into the right place at the right time.
