Forgiveness

Forgiveness

   Eric Smallridge was a prisoner who was sentenced to 22 years for driving drunk and crashing into a car with two passengers: 20 year olds Megan and Lisa. Both Megan and Lisa died instantly. When Smallridge was sent to court, the families of Megan and Lisa were happy to see justice made as Smallridge was sent to prison.
   After a couple of years of being imprisoned for what he did. Smallridge's sentence got cut in half. The mother of Megan had forgiven Smallridge and asked the judge to reduce the man's sentence on account that Smallridge felt regret towards what he did.
   Megan's mother forgave him because she said she could have hated him all his life but it would have not made a difference and it would not have made her feel better.
   Now, and while on parole, both Megan's mother and Smallridge go to schools to talk to students the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving.
   This single act of forgiveness changed the life of a man and of countless students and served as a lesson to all who listened on how not to drink and drive and to forgive because it is the only thing that will make you feel better.

Student Success Statement

"When a deep injury 
is done us, we never
recover until we
forgive."
Alan Paton 


Forgive: to stop feeling 
angry or resentful toward 
someone for an offense, 
flaw, or mistake. 


Reflection: I agree with this quote because I do believe it is true. No one truly feels or gets better until they face that person and forgive them for what they did, something as small as a bump while walking or an intentional push. The smallest of things can affect a person and not forgiving for what happened will only make then feel worse.

Student Success Statement

“Dare to stand alone.”
Thomas S. Monson

Reflection:

        I think this quote by Thomas S. Monson is great. I think this statement is great because if you stand alone then you won’t be getting into any of the consequences others might get into. If you don’t think what others or your friends are doing is right then stand up and walk away from that because you know once they get caught you won’t be a part of that. If you stand alone then everything will be fine and nothing bad will ever effect your life or your future. For example if your friend are doing drugs and you don't want to get caught stand up and leave. It doesn't matter if your friends think bad about you because you know you did the right thing. Do not be afraid of what other will think because at the end of the day, it is always up to you and what you think is best.

   In an attempt to safe as many lives as possible, overwhelmed doctors at Nepal's crowded National Trauma Center make split-second life or death decisions by trying to arrange earthquake patients in order of priority making sure they can get to everyone on time.

   The center which is connected to the capital's Bir Hospital is filled with overworked medics . air officials and volunteers trying to help with the aftermath of the 7.8- magnitude earthquake that has killed more than six thousand civilians.

   Hours after the quake, some two thousand people rushed for medical attention to the center which could only house 150 injured at a time.

   Due to the locate and rough terrain, it meant it would be a couple of days until survivors from remote villages would be able to be airlifted to safety.
