When I graduated from High School, my Young Womens leaders gave me a book called 'Live and Learn and Pass It On'. I have been reading it again and I just have loved some of the things people tell that they have learned, so I thought I would share a few great ones with all of you.

I've learned that... it always makes me feel good to see my parents holding hands. - Age 13

I've learned that... how people treat me is more a reflection of how they see themselves than how they see me. - Age 49
