I have learned so many things that I wish I had known before. It has taught me true lasting love. In this world that word is tossed around without much meaning. It is used so carelessly. It is a magical word and we should be aware of what it truly means and is. As I get older I am sure my definition of love will be added upon and my knowledge of it will grow. Just as I know that the things I learn will be added upon as well. It is great to celebrate growing. by Marissa Moncayo "Another year older and wiser too." Okay, maybe not that much wiser but another birthday has passed. I am no longer a teenager. That is an exciting thought. As years start to fly by I find that my year was filled with many growing moments. Maybe it is semi true when the Primary song says, "and wiser too." I have had a lot of growing up to do. Being married is like going to school. Everyday you learn something new, in a variety of areas. Some of them you are not very good at, some you excel. Some of the areas you do not understand, some are easy to learn. Some you may have to re take over and over again. Evemually you pass, but not , without work and a continual struggle to remember. At the same time this school is much more fun. You always have a classmate learning with you. You have someone to help you pass the tests and to help you laugh along the way. Some days it is very hard and you don't'want to go to class. But some days you can't get enough. Everyone goes through this. The point is that this school prepares you for life. It prepares you to live a great life filled with loving people and joys. It helps you with jobs, communication, interactions, people, and even real school. If you are not yet married, any relationship I now realize that my parents have always been wiser than me. Now I go to them, whereas before I thought I knew it all. They have had many more years of growing wiser. "Moments" continued on Page 3 ; I ''Moments" continued from Page 2 backward. We must continue learning and growing, moving forward. So cheers for getting "one year older and wiser too!" i , j ! I look forward to getting : i wiser. I am not quite sure I ! ; will ever graduate. I don't ; ; think any of us will ever graduate from this school. But, I am pretty sure we all don't want to ever graduate. If we did, where would we go. We would be left standing in one place and eventually fall |
