"The girl who truly values herself, values her health. She realizes that to be effective in life, she has to maintain a healthy body. Being healthy has a great deal to do with mental attitude." Julie goes on to say that she believes "a girl who has real self-esteem won't be plaqued with mental attitudes which harm her health. She will value herself as a person and will naturally take care of her physical body. "Also a girl who really values herself will be able to overlook the physical flaws over which she has no control and empha-" size her qualities. I don't know anyone who doesn't have the potential for being attractive. Girls who neglect themselves and don't have good grooming habits aren't suffering from "ugliness," rather they're suffering suf-fering from shabby self-opinions. self-opinions. "Intelligence is also affected by the attitudes a girl has towards herself," Julie feels. She concludes "if a girl is able to really believe she is intelligent intelli-gent and maintain her self-confidfnce self-confidfnce in spite of occasional occasion-al failures, she will do well academically." Nicholes spoke at the sacrament sacra-ment meeting of the Cedar City Tenth Ward Sunday, April 11th. He will enter the language training mission at BYU April 22, prior to departure for Florida.
