Entrepreneurial Journal Week 6

This was a pretty light week in this class, to be honest. There weren't any life plan assignments, which is usually my favorite part because I get to be deeply internally reflective on who I am and what my dreams are. I did enjoy the readings and videos though. I especially liked Elder Tanner's talk. It made a lot of sense when he talked about how you can't become an addict if you don't even try it once. I have never tried alcohol or anything else against the word of wisdom, even thought I've been tempted to a few times, and I'm glad that I can't fall into an addiction as long as I never do it once.To be honest, I never saw the appeal of anything like that in high school or college until the past year or so when I was struggling with depression and spiraling from anxiety, and I desperately wanted something to numb the pain and allow me to cut loose and stop worrying so much. Thankfully, I was still able to stay strong, which is especially good, because through most of it I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding. Sometimes I wonder if I missed out on something by not going through a rebellious phase, but I have no regrets, and I know I’ve set a good example for my kids that they can be proud of.
