Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Last Days of School!

So today was my last day of High School ever :-)

It's kind of sad but I am really excited. Right as second period was about to get out (third period was going to be our last class) some genius pulled the fire alarm for the "senior prank". No one was very thrilled, especially after we found out all of us seniors had to stay an additional 15 minutes and not get out at 10:10. The person who did it was caught on camera, and the fire department is pressing criminal charges. The kid also won't be able to get his diploma until he(or she) completes their community service. Funny joke right? Anyways, stats was my third period class, and we didn't have a final...we just played name the tune! The class went by really slow! Finally, we were dismissed, proceeded with the senior stomp...So much silly string! And then went ouside where everyone just was screaming and being all excited. It made me laugh. After that there was the senior picnic at the park, so we left for that. They had Qdoba, but someone forgot to order Queso (the best part of Qdoba)..But it was fun. Me and my friends stayed there for awhile, and then i went with Emma back to the school so she could turn in some books. We stayed there for awhile talking to my creative writing teacher, Mr. Leyba, and then finally i came home. What a day!! It's crazy to think that I'm graduating!! So just for posteritys sake, I'm gonna post a few pictures from the past few days. Enjoy :-D (I'm not posting many pictures cuz most of them are really bad of me, but these are the few that turned out okay!)
