Prompt A

I know it is ironic that my farewell words are late but oh well that is just my luck. My last words are good bye. Simple, yes, but that is how I feel. We have had good times during this class together and now it is time to say good bye. If I were to leave BYU (which I am for two and a half years) I would want someone to remember me; remember something about me. This has been a big fear of mine for a long time. I have always feared being forgotten, that I would have no impact on anyone anywhere. This fear has driven my actions for years, it is why I dress the way I dress and act the way I act. All these things are meant to help me stand out from the crowd, to be different. But this isn’t enough for me; I fear that I need to do more. So that is why I try to excel in everything else I do. I try to do my best in everything in the hopes that I will rise above mediocrity.
My final advice to the world would be to slow down and pay attention to what is going on in the world. There is so much going on that nobody knows about. Get involved with the community, learn what is happening with our country. I have noticed that in the world around me that people just accept what is told to them, they never question or analyze things for themselves. Now, I’m not sure why I am going on this rant right now, but this is what I’m feeling strongly about right now. In my political science class we have been learning about things happening in our country and it just sickens me to see where we are at right now as a nation. When I hear about certain things happening in our country, I literally clench my fists and have to calm myself down. This country is not where it needs to be and it is all our responsibilities to change what we don’t like about our country. So my advice to the world before I leave would be to see the world as it is and try to change it to what it should be.
So until we meet again, farewell! I hope you do well in the subsequent semesters at BYU and I hope to see some of you graduated by the time I get back. Don’t do anything stupid and stay close to God in all aspects of your life. Live by your moral compass that guides and directs you and never sell your values for a quick reward, you are better than that. So until we once again reconnect, Mookle wishes you warm regards and the best in all your endeavors. I hope you didn’t mind my political rant, but what would my last words to you all be without one of my good ole fashion rant? Bubye
