Who am I?

I feel like I'm torn in many different directions. I'm the student, the writer, the future teacher, the theater employee, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a grandaughter, a niece, a cousin, a neighbor, a ward member, a visiting teacher, a customer, etc. I have many different roles and hats to wear. At work, I'm a employee to my managers and customers, and a co-worker to my work friends. At school I'm a student, one of thousands. When I go to the mall, then I'm the customer, etc. Sometimes I don't really think past the roles to who I am as a person. I'm all those things, but I'm also so much more. These are a part of who I am, but not who I am. I'm all these things and more.

I'm grateful for my institute class I'm taking. It's helped me appreciate my role as a woman, a daughter of God, in a new way. It's helped me realize how special I am. I'm, as put by my young women's leaders and institute teacher, a princess in training. One day, if I strive to do all I can with the Lord's help and mercy, I can become a queen. I'm a daughter of God and that's who I am. I know the Lord knows me, even better than I know myself. He understands what I go through, and He's never far away. He loves me for who I am and for what I can become. He hears and answers my prayers. He helps me everyday. I'm so grateful for Him.

You can't let life get you down. I know, because I have let it sometimes. It's always better when you look at it with a positive light.

It's easy to say "I'm not of worth. Who really cares about me?" But it isn't true. Don't listen to the adversary. A lot of people care about you, and Heavenly Father and Jesus most of all. They believe in you. Let that carry you through.

Don't give up.

I'm still trying to figure out who I am, but I know the Lord will guide me if I stay on His path. I know that I'm a daughter of God with great potential. I was born in this time for a reason. That is enough to help me start to figure out my role. I'm grateful for all that I have.
