Best of Week: Do You Mind?
The discussions that we've had this week regarding the do you mind questions have been really great for me. The questions themselves have really made me dig deep inside myself and find the real truth. It is also great to hear what other people have to say about the questions because it makes me see the questions form a different perspective. I might see the question one way, but then someone else shares their answer and they saw it a completely different way. It made me realize that there are multiple views and sides for everything in life. I think that these questions will help me in the future by making me realize that their are different sides to things. It will make me think about the other views people could have before I say that there is one best view for something. They also made me more willing to be open with myself because everyone else is, so I have no reason to be afraid.
Blogging Around
The first post that I read was from Julia Skulstad's blog. In her blog she wrote about how the end of high school brings more than just a graduation from South. I replied to her with this,

Julia,
I couldn't agree more with what you've said. Looking around at Turnabout realizing that I didn't know more than half the people there also made me realize that a big change is coming in our lives. Knowing you since Wesley, it's amazing looking back seeing how we've grown and matured into people who are ready to go off to college. If someone had told me at the beginning of freshman year that high school was going to be one of the biggest times of change in my life, I wouldn't have believed them. But looking back now it was. I think that as we graduate, like you said, we are not only becoming high school graduates, we are becoming adults. This chapter in our lives was amazing, but I think the ones to come are going to bring even more change and great times! =]

The second post that I read was from Elyse's blog. She wrote about how people can psych themselves out when they are singing. I replied to her post with this,
Hey Elyse!
I totally agree with what you are saying. For me, when I'm playing my instrument I sometimes start thinking about what I'm actually doing. I then think about it too much and mess up. I think that what you said can apply to anything that we do in life. If we think too much about something and everything that could go wrong with it, then something probably will go wrong. That is one of the reasons that I think that people should look at what could happen positively in what they are doing. Thanks for making me think! =]
