As we approach the Days of Awe, be thinking about how YOU can BE MORE AWEsome! This period of time in our calendar reminds us to evaluate ourselves as human beings. Are you being the best "YOU" you can be? That's all God asks of us. We are not supposed to compare ourselves to our friends - only to what WE are capable of being. During your time away from school, whether you are at services or not, take some time to think about what one change you can make on a daily basis that will make you more awesome. As for me, I am trying to be more understanding and patient with my own parents. Parents can be so frustrating, can't they? But really, all they want is the best for us. I am trying to remember that, and to be thankful for what they have done for me.
