Be who you are

Lately as I look around I get a sense that people feel the need to be someone they are not. Like someone is forcing them. Maybe because they feel it from society or something like that. But I am here to say that you have to be who you are. You can't do something, then do another thing. I understand progressing and always moving forward and things like that, but you can't use that as a crutch. Just like you can't party on Saturday and then going to church on Sunday. There are ramifications for all of our actions. Going to BYU-I right now I seem to hear a lot about the honor code, and how its out of date, and that these are different times. But i am on the side that, hey if i can do it anyone can. I am not the best at following rules. Also if you don't want to follow the rules, then you don't have to attend this school. Again no one is forcing you, its all about the choices you make. The only person who can force you to do anything is yourself. Its just like Religion all of the commandments we have are there for a reason and even though we don't understand them all right now there are reasons for them. 

Another view of this is isn't there more important things in this life to worry about than honor code, or what people are doing. Like being grateful for the simple blessings we have since we live where we do. Or the fact that we have such great schools in every state to attend, to help us better ourselves and our minds. I would say that my generation is getting to the point where we are so blessed that we forget how much we really have. Nothing lasts forever. So lets all be more grateful for the simple blessings that we all have, And BE WHO YOU ARE.
