The Problem Is I Can't Remember

     I can just remember comIng home wIth a backpack full of my favorIte books ready to be read; they were serIes for example: JunIe b. Jones, Box Car ChIldren, Judy Moody, and MagIc Tree House. My favoIrtes were CaptaIn Underpants because they had the flIp pages to make the pIctures come to lIfe!
     Oh, do I mIss the days of lovIng to read! After startIng the sIxth grade I became very pIcky of what I read and most of the tIme never fInIshed a book. I felt as If I lost all Interest In readIng, but not completly cause I can remember goIng to the lIbrary everyday and gettIng a dIfferent Cam Jensen or Goose Bumps book. For some reason I have always been really Intersested In books lIke mystery, scary, horror, drugs and abuse, topIcs lIke that.
     Now a days my mom can barely get me to pIck up a book, but she doesn't understand why I do not lIke to read because the rest of my famIly absolutely loves It and even my best frIend FaIth. Come to thInk of It, It mIght be because I would play school wIth my best frIend Morgan eIther over the weekend or somethIng lIke that and she would make me read book after book and she would make me do work and answer questIons about the book. I would like to want to read, but I just can't seem to get Into any books that I absolutely lIke or love that I want to keep readIng.
     I hear all the tIme that readIng makes you smarter, that It can help wIth your comprehentIon of lIfe, and gIve you a dIfferent take on lIfe. Also that It helps wIth your vocabulary and teaches you lessons. I understand that It Is an Important task that I should take part In, but I really only have tIme to read two books and they are The Holy BIble and The Book of Mormon. I belIeve that those are the only books I need to help my vocabulary, and to teach me lessons, and guIde me through lIfe and help me reach salvatIon, and to help my comprehentIon of thIngs.
     One day I was goIng through pIctures of me and my famIly and I found a pIcture of me In a dIaper, sIttIng on a  yellow stool, holdIng a book to my face. I asked my oldest sIster about It and all she could do was laugh, she told me I would make up my own storIes to go along wIth the pIctures In the book because I dIdn't know how to read yet, but that I was learnIng and learned really fast and I was above almost all the kIds In my age group I came encounter wIth.
     My mom notIfIed me that I was an amzIng reader when I was younger and when I was In kIndergarten I was wrItIng essays that were no where near my age group, so everyday she would be gettIng a call from my school tellIng her how great of a student I was and that my vocabulary was fantastIc and I could just come up wIth amazIng storIes off the top of my head and wrIte them down and they would make total sense and rewardIng me wIth a treats from the treasure box In the offIce.
     HearIng the past of me readIng and wrItIng excItes me cause wrItIng has follwed me a long way, but because of not readIng all that much anymore my vocabulary and wrItIng In general has suffered drastIcally. I hope to dIg up my past and brIng It to the brIght future of me, shyanne,  readIng a lot more and wrItIng wIth perfect scores lIke I use to.

The Way Others SHOULD Be Treated

          Treat others the way you want to be treated- one of Heavenly Fathers golden commandments. I try to live by the commandments because if you are going to treat someone with disrespect, you should count on being treated the way you treated them. A lot of people tend to do an action before they think about the consequence of what could come of that action. Its the saying " think before you act" so you dont do anything stupid.
        
         But, sometimes it doesn't end up that way. In the story, The Old Man With Enormous Wings, the angel's intentions were to heal the ill baby, but the village thought his intentions were to take the baby, as if the ill baby were passing and he was a dark angel, and because of this miss interpretation he was tortured. This story reminds me of a saying; one can influence a million, by saying that, I mean when the angel came, someone accused him of being a dark angel. So that's what everyone else took the old man as. Sense the village thought he was a dark angel he was put in a cage so others could see him. When he gave patience, everyone was poking him, taking his feathers, and treating him as if he where a circus animal.
       
         People also took advantage of the "miracles" he could perform, they would touch him and want to be healed from their illness they had and instead of fixing their illness something good came out of it. Because, I try to be nice and patient with everyone sometimes or most of the time I get mentally "stepped on". I can't help how people are the way they are, but i can help the way I react to the way they treat me. I just remember I am striving to be the way my Heavenly Father made me even if my peers aren't being who they should be. I am here for Him to do His work that he has given me the responsibility to do here on earth and not here for my peers.
       
        A circus came to town and the village reacted more fascinated with the spider woman, she was diagnosed that way because she disobeyed her parents. On the other hand the angel that had fallen from heaven, flying in the rain to heal a sickly baby was basically forgotten about. So when everyone left the angel alone to go look at "exottic" spider woman the angel was able to heal.
       
       Everyone should live and strive to live by Heavenly Fathers commandments. When Jesus came to earth he was crucified and tortured, similar to what happened to the old man with enormous wings. People react more to Satan's doings than Heavenly Fathers and Jesus Christs doings because Satan's doings are more physical and easier to grasp. Its really easy to sin because people do it all the time, everyday. But, following Heavenly Father's commandments and trying as hard as you can to be like him is really hard, but can be done, and will be rewarded for. Being Christ like is so much more worth it then shutting others down, taunting them, and making them feel bad.
