Stucture

Structure in a family is so important. In class we did an exercise, 3 people volunteered to go up to the front of the class and act out a situation. In the situation they had to act out their family structure was not in the best shape. During the exercise I started to think of my family, not in a bad way! I grew up with a family that was very close, but it made me start thinking about things that could have possibly been better. I by any means did not grow up in a perfect home but I feel like for the most part we, as a family, had it together.
   Structure can make such a big difference in a family, if you feel like you have to take sides and go against someone in your family I can see how that can cause problems within the family. I know that as I am getting closer and closer to having a family of my own I need to pay more attention to things like this so I will be able to be the best mother I can be and so that I can let my children know that I love them. 

1st day of class

In class Brother Williams said a quote that went like this, "People tend to learn deeply when they have questions that are important, intriguing, and just plain beautiful." I do not remember who said this quote, but it really stood out to me. When asking a question on any aspect of life the question has to be thought out.
To me this quote means that questions that I ask should come from the heart and I need to have the desire to learn. We have all heard the quote, "There are no stupid questions". I to some extent I believe this, but sometimes I hear questions asked that should just not be asked. If there is the true desire to learn the questions that are asked will have some meaning. I looked up question in the dictionary and the definition that stood out to me the most was, "a problem for discussion or under discussion; a matter for investigation." A question should not be asked to just get one answer, but instead it should be asked to cause a discussion.
