See the Good in the World

Don't you hate it when you go to church and all you hear is... "Oh, the world is so wicked and in order to be saved you have to read, read, read, READ your scriptures" and "Stay OFF the internet - it is SO bad" or "Satan is powerful, watch out!" I know I do. It's not that I'm scared it's just that I hate to focus on the negative. It's depressing.

Today, while reading the NewEra (love it) I saw this article type thing that gave ideas on how to use the Internet for good. I was so excited! I was so glad that someone finally said that the Internet is good! They said you could get a profile on mormon.org or on youth.lds.org. You could chat with other youth about the gospel and share your testimony. Or... you can post things that inspire you on your social media sites likes Facebook, MySpace, or blogger...for instance. I was so excited that I could do MISSIONARY WORK on the INTERNET! That was so exciting for me!

I have officially decided that only inspirational things will come from my posts. I want to have a blog that everyone reads and is inspired from. I've read blogs like that and it makes me happy. I want to be a hero in people's lives. When I am deciding to go to college and have to decide what career to choose, I've decided I want to impact so many people's lives. I want to be a motivational speaker and allow others the chance for their dreams to come true just like mine. I want to help children who don't come from a great family like me. I want to be the reason why a child overcomes a lousy home life and becomes an AMAZING person.

I recently did a research paper in my English class about Helen Keller. She's an example of someone who didn't let her disabilities ruin her life! She influenced so many people. She helped blinded soldiers who became blind in the war not to be afraid and taught them how to function...how to have a normal life without eye sight.

Social work is my career choice, along with many others. I want to work with kids. I want them to have a happy life like I do. Because I can't change their circumstances, I want to change how they react and how they deal with these bad events in their lives.

I also would love to be an EFY singer/speaker. That would be so fun.

I would also love to teach music or dance or theater, or all three. I want people to be able to express themselves without having others judge them. I want people to have the smae opportunities I have had in my childhood and my life. Not everyone is as fortunate as me, so to be a hero, to CHANGE a life - that is my goal.

10 Things to Do When You're Having A Hard Time

Image
Imagine a world where the sun is always shining, there is no temptation, weakness, or sin. The grass is always green, hair is always shiny, flowers never die, people never misbehave, no illness exists, and the sky is always blue. Imagine also a world where you never felt joy, you never laughed, you never sang or danced in the kitchen. There was no sweet – there was no color, there was no life. There was no righteousness, no growth, no children, no family. Oddly enough, these are the same world. When we chose God’s plan, we knew that this life would be difficult. Our whole purpose in coming to Earth is to be tried and tested. Yet, sometimes when life gets hard, we forget that we CHOSE this. There must needs be an opposition in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths.” 1. Realize and understand your divine nature as a child of God. There is...

A New Love

  Recently, this year, I've got to participate in two plays. The first one, with the high school, was Once Upon a Mattress. It was the story of the Princess and the Pea. It was so fun. It was a musical, and I played a lady in waiting. I was just in the chorus, but it was so much fun. Then, with the Jr. High, I was the lead in Alienated. I played Cammie. It was just a silly one-act play, but I had so much fun and I made a lot of new friends. Ever since I was little, I've always wanted to be in plays. This year my dreams have come true. I love it! It is so fun! This May, I have the wonderful opportunity to audition for Hairspray for IFYAC (Idaho Falls Youth Art Council) I am super excited and hope I get to! Wish me luck! Life is worthwhile when you're doing something you love!

Ah, Lovely Scarlet Pimpernel

Well, The Scarlet Pimpernel is now over. Sad life. I enjoyed it so much. You know, I don't know what it is about theatre...it doesn't even matter if you have a part or not...theatre is happiness. It brings joy. Joy to all those who participate. Joy to the actors, and joy to the audience. And there's something extra special about a musical. Music is also joy. So, double the joy! :) I feel the same way I did when I quit dance. I feel like I've been separated from my family. I feel like I've moved away from home and from everything that I love. Although this isn't quite true, I do miss my cast family very much. However, I will say...there's something extraordinary about a smaller cast. You really have time to connect and bond with each other. But I really feel like this cast was amazing. I've become so close with all of them. I would just like to spend a few minutes to thank all of those that are really special. (Sorry, I don't have any pictur...
