" We learn to do by doing."
        - Spencer W. Kimball

  What Mr. Kimball means is that in order to know something you have to do it a couple of times. If you know how to type, you first had to type before knowing how.  Many things can come easy to a person but in order to know it they have to do it. For me, I know how to play the flute and how to sing and dance but I had to do those things before knowing how to do it. Many people say they can be masters the minute they pick up an instrument but no one is an automatic master. Trust me, in order to know how to play an instrument you have to learn how to do it. Nothing comes easy, you have to take the hard way up in order to reach success. You can strive for excellence by doing it or you can sit and wait for it to come to you. In order to get success you have to build the building blocks of your life. This is why Mr. Kimball said "We learn by doing." because without doing you learn nothing.

"Obedience is the central to becoming, being, and remaining happy."

                                                                                            -David Bednar

                I believe that what Mr. Bednar is trying to say is that if you're obedient you will be a much more happier person, then you are when you're disobedient. What he says is in order to remain happy and to become happy you need to be obedient other wise your life will take a big turn around the clock. Obedience is like a trick, some people are good at it others not so much. You can't be obedient without learning how to. If you were a disobedient person and you did many wrong things but they placed you in a leadership class, how would you feel?  I would feel out of place. If I was put in leadership it is because I have the strength and character of a leader. You can't be in leadership if you know you don't listen or show obedience towards your instructors. Everything at this point in your life counts. Make your actions worth the moment. Be obedient towards everyone and you will become, be, and remain a happy person.

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do."

                                                      -Alex Linares

What Alex means by choosing the right is that when you choose the right you are making the correct choices.  When you choose the right and you see everyone else going to the wrong side, you know that you did the right thing but sometimes you want to follow. Don't follow anyone, be a leader.  By choosing the right you are influencing people around you to do the right thing. Imagine that you were at a school dance and it was time to leave because it was over. The crowd left a mess behind, like papers, cups and many other things. What would you do? Would you leave it as it is and let the people who set up the dance clean up by themselves or would you help them because you made the mess as well. You might as well help them without being asked. When you commit acts of helpfulness you won't always get recognized for them but you feel great. By choosing the right you have given yourself an amazing feeling that is hard to replace. Remember Choose The Right!

"What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player."
                                                                                        -John Wooden

"True wealth is if the heart, not if the purse."

                                       -Pathros

    By saying that "True wealth is of the heart" Pathros is saying that true wealth is what comes from inside. Pathros means that true wealth is most likely how you treat others. Also by how you earn a better reputation by doing the right thing. By saying "Not of the purse." Pathros means that wealth doesnt always mean having money. He means that true wealth is depending on how hard you work to achieve your goals. How hard you work to become the best you can be. Imagine that there was a very wealthy person. They had lots of money but never achieved the big success they were searching for. If you are able to accomplish this success you feel very good about yourself which is giving you true wealth. True wealth cleanses your body because you know you did the right thing without cutting corners. Now if you were the other person and you knew that you messed up so many times and the only reason you are where you are is because of money, you don't feel as proud as everyone else who worked countless hours to become the best they can be. Remember every tiny detail counts.

"You cannot do wrong and fell  right. It's impossible."
                                                -Ezra Taft Benson
When Ezra Taft Benson was saying this I believe he meant that you can't do something incorrectly and expect to feel great about it. If you do something wrong and you think it was the right choice event though you know it wasn't. Eventually the guilt will take over and consume you to the point that you can no longer think you did the right thing. Imagine if you were running for a competition. Every body was running the same way on the race track but you knew a shorter way. The results were that you were the first to make it to the finish line. How would you feel knowing that you took a short cut instead of taking the correct path? You would most likely feel horrible. You would not feel comfortable winning the 1st place medal.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."

-Abraham Lincoln

When Abraham Lincoln said he meant that if you do something without trying your best or by cheating you dont feel well about your decision. When you try your best and gave it your all, you feel amazing. Abraham is trying to say that every action has a feeling to it. You may not feel it now but the feeling will come. Have you ever experienced any good and bad moments with the feelings attached? If you cheat on a test and you get a perfect score, at first you feel great. Then the guilt starts kicking in. You think "I could have done this on my own, but I didn't." Well how the person that you cheated off of feels. When you graduate and finish with a high G.P.A, and you accomplished this by yourself, you feel amazing. Don't let your actions change your feelings. If you know you can do it then shoot for the stars. Everything is possible. Every tiny action counts.

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
                          -Boyd K. Packer

By saying that obedience is the key to freedom he means that by being obedient you get to do more things you like. If you listen to your parents they will most likely let you go out with your friends to eat or hang out. If you disobey your parents you are most likely going to get punished. What does being obedient have to do with my life? you might say. It has to do with your life everyday. It starts out with school. If you dont do your homework you are showing people you are not responsible and that you didn't listen to your teacher. If you work hard and study like your teacher asks, if you pass your tests by doing it the correct way, you are showing your teacher that she can rely on you for any task ahead. To be obedient you first have to learn how to obey.  The more you listen and do what you are asked to do the more you will get to be with your friends or get to go eat at a restaurant, etc. Remember to listen and do your best with out taking the short-cuts in life.

9/11 Memorial               September 11th, 2001 Attacks

       The event that took place on September 11th, 2001 was a sad story for our nation. A time of grief for many families and friends of the victims. It all started in the morning when the first tower shot hit with an airplane with 92 people aboard. This plane hit the north tower. The south tower was hit at 9:03 am with another plane that had 65 people aboard. The south tower only lasted 56 minutes before burning down. The north tower burned down a few hours after the south tower collapsed. Due to the fire in the north and south towers the remaining buildings surrounding the towers starting burning as well. Buildings 3,4,5 and 7 all burned down. Building 7 lasted the longest. Burning down in 7 hours. An officer has said that some mysterious person gave an order for everyone to evacuate the building. Up to this day no one know who this mysterious hero is but they do know that they saved thousands of lives.  In 2009 construction builders decide to honor the people who died. They went to all the families who lost their loved ones in the tragedy and had 1200 requests. These workers filled the requests thus making many families feel honored to see that their loved ones are valued. To this day we still honor those who died and served to save the lives of the survivors. During the tragedy three firefighters found the ground zero flag. The ground zero flag was the surviving United  States flag. They hung the flag on the flag pole to honor everyone who was in the building. That flag traveled all around the world and inspired others top keep moving forward. I feel very sad these families that went through so much suffering but proud that they did whatever it took to try and save others.

Don't forget.
Keep the Honor going.

"Obedience is the greatest test of life."
                                       -Thomas S. Monson
    Obedience is the greatest test of life because it shows people that you are well educated and are ready to set out in the world. By having obedience you are showing people that you are trustworthy, and ready to accomplish any task that is given to you. When you obey you listen to what is right and what is wrong. By doing so you have been learning what you should and should not do. If you disobey you show that you make bad decisions and you show people that you really dont care about your life as well as others. Obedience is important in life because to be great you have to show others that you are great. When you disobey you do things like, not do your homework, dont take your proper medications, you try to harm yourself and others. If you obey you lend a helping hand, you take care of your health the  way your doctor told you too, etc. There are always obedient and disobedient people in the world. If you look closely you can almost always figure out who is who. Make sure to choose the right path and test your life with obedience. Remember your decisions affect you no matter how small they are.
Think about it because right now everything matters.
