Finals

Finals are usually terrible, and completely exhausting. However this semester seems to be, dare I say it, enjoyable?

Ok, not all my finals. Just one.

I took a "Moral Foundations of the Family" class this semester. Everything I learned was stuff I felt like I already knew, but hearing it put into words brought it all to life for me.

Everything about the class was so simple, yet life changing.

For the final we were instructed to pick a topic, any topic (finances, parenting, communication, etc.) and develop a lesson plan for that topic that implements ideas from a moral theorist point of view. This assignment (and class) has captivated me.

Summary of my final? Parents talking to their adolescents about substance abuse.
Moral of the story? Parents, be good people and an example to your children.
They DO look up to you.

In thinking up my lesson plan, I came up with a few examples of this:

Jeffrey And I

Ava and I

Mace-Moo and I
Hailey and I

Kaylee and I -- Look Beth! I found one with one of your kids! :)

While I am not a parent to any of them, I can still be an example to them. Kids need examples in their lives.

Be the person you want your children to be.
Can you even begin to imagine what a better place the world would be if everyone took this idea to heart?
