I wouldn’t enjoy myself being a Licensed Practical Nurse. I know I won’t. The reason why I think this way is because the whole thing doesn’t seem interesting. You get to help people, that’s big but that’s not me.

“Righteous community unity starts with one upright soul, whether it is a community of family members, students, neighbors, teammates, or business associates. Unity conquers worthy pursuits more quickly and with less effort than individual effort alone.”

-Mr. Haymore

Reflection: This statement means is it only requires one person to conquer worthy pursuits. Less effort than individual effort along. It can start with anyone, can go along with anyone. Either if it’s a student, family members, neighbors it can do with anyone. Even a homeless man I start one. Quite inconceivable that one person can start a big rumble.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

Ezra T. Benson

Reflection: To feel right you have to do the right thing, not the wrong. It is impossible for that to occur. An example for this statement would be having a strong urge to have something that isn’t yours, and then steeling it. That would make you feel wrong, not right. Even if you have what you wanted all along. You won’t feel right for doing something wrong.
