Emma Smith She's not modern-day
I like her
Okay, actually a modern-day hero is a lady that I heard speak at the Worldwide Congress of Families.  She is a lawyer and she spoke beautifully at the conference. She received a standing ovation. She just seems like a neat person. She is strong in her faith and loves her family and has obviously had a successful career. I'm trying to remember her name. It's Cathy Ruse She's cool.
Hum, that is interesting. I never heard about her before.
Okay, let me think of someone that I know a little more about.
I think she counts haha
Haha okay good.
I can't think of anyone. I was thinking about teachers.
Okay.
They are underpaid, but teach the future generation.
Think harder. :) That's true--I feel like teachers should be paid better so that better teachers are attracted to the profession. And if teachers are paid better then I believe education would be better.
Yeah, I also think that parents should take their place and do their job in the education of their children.
I agree with that as well. Parents are needed who will really take the time and make the effort to teach their children.
Some parents shifted their values and instead of educating their kids, they only buy them things and expect school will do the rest.
Parents have the primary responsibility for teaching their children or making sure that their children receive a good education, and I mean all kinds of education: Yes that happens a lot. Parents think that only providing for physical needs or wants is good parenting. But parents should be teaching moral values, relational skills, social skills, honesty, spiritual education,  and making sure that children are well-educated intellectually. Is there anything you really wish your parents would have done differently? You are slow.
Hahaha
Sorry, I will be respectful. I love you. Truly.
I agree with you. Hahaha
I don't want to lose points. :)
I received good education from my parents, but my younger siblings received came to the family when the dynamics were different, so my parents were divorced, so the younger siblings didn't learn the same core values of our family and the habits that we had as a family together. I wish they had that because it made the difference for me. What about you?
Yes it is often different for younger siblings. They often get a more relaxed (maybe lazy) experience with parents. Sometimes parents are just more relaxed. And sometimes they are tired.
True.
Okay I'm thinking about your question. Sometimes, I wish that I had grown up with less "shoulds" and had been allowed to fail more. My dad pushed me a lot in school and I had a 4.0 because of it, but I think I learned to be more concerned about what I "should" do and did't learn how to have my own dreams.
I see. That can be daunting. Failures allow growth and learning. But I'm sure he wanted the best for you. How was your weekend so far?
Yes, they definitely did want what was best for me. They really are great parents. I love them and I don't have hard feelings about things that I maybe wish had been different My weekend was good. Not as productive as I intended, but I'm about to start planning. What about yours?
Mine was good. I studied a bit and spent some time with friends.
I'm glad that you got some studying in, and that you got to spend time with friends. Those are good things. Maybe my weekend was more productive in the way of spending time with friends and building relationships and less productive academically. ;)
I count that as productive. Those are also important things. It depends on your priorities each day. Sometimes we need to work on our relationships, but sometimes we need to focus on other stuff as well.
Very true. It's challenging to prioritize because so many things are important.
I heard somewhere that you have to make a list every morning and then decide the priority and go for it.
Yes I like doing that. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't do that the day before, but I feel like I always accomplish more when I do that. Planning is really helpful for accomplishing more. Well, I hate to do this, but I'm going to sign off. Thank you for chatting with me Deise.
Thank you Megs Have a good night!
