Mom and Dad have given me and my sisters a lot of legacies throughout the years. Mom has engrained in my head how to be a perfectionist and to do a job right. Mom also was the one that nurtured my love for books and history. I am indebted to my mom for where I am at academically today. She was patience in teaching us. Homeschooling is not an easy job if you do it right. Dad taught me my love for computers and technical things. Dad was always the one to show me how to fix computer problems. He is one of the reasons I started running the PA system in church. And because of him I will take computer science when I get to college.

The subject I would like to talk about is really touchy with some people. But I am going to talk about it anyways. There is a certain problem that I see here at Weimar and maybe (I am ashamed to say) I have participated in it. Whenever this school goes to other churches or schools for an occasion, I constantly hear Weimar students judging people. Like when we went to Pine Hill Academy last year, I heard some of our girls say that the Pine Hills girls do not like us. I thought, “Why not? Are they stuck up or something?” But then I found out why when I observed the Weimar kids against the Pine Hills kids. The Weimar kids were always judging the other kids by how they dressed or how they did their make-up. Since when does the outside really reveal the inside? Those kids might have been really nice kids but we did not let them in. Why is there a wall between us and other so called rival schools? There should not be! We need to quit judging other people just because they are not exactly like us. You do not know their hearts; they might be more spiritual than you! As Jesus said in Matthew 7:1 “Judge not that you be not judged.” It is not our place to judge or condemn people. We need to judge ourselves and see what is in our hearts that makes us want to judge others.
