My effort within this class has been okay, I have read everything except for maybe a couple of days the whole semester. I missed the second week of school due to obligations I promised to be too. I have other than those day been to every class on time and participated, the activates were different than most activities I have done in classes, but my group was always good to help and when we all came prepared the activities were completed without a problem.

Joseph Smith once said that each of us is a rough stone rolling, down the hill and into the stream. Each time we hit something, the rock is changed just a little and by the time it gets done it is smooth, but it needs to go through all the pain to accomplish its true
