Dear student,
I was just in your place and probably thinking many of the
things you are thinking right now. When I started this class my first thought
was, “this sounds like a Sunday school class, these are all things I learn at
church every week, why do I need to learn them here too?” So do you know what
my first piece of advice is? If you are having any of these thoughts or any thoughts
like it, stop it and be humble. Because the number one thing I learned from
this class is that no matter how many times you hear something, it doesn’t necessarily
mean you’ve already learned it. This class actually turned out to be a huge
blessing in my life and I learned that sometimes repetition is a powerful teacher.
As I began to humble myself a little more and try harder to be receptive to the
promptings of the spirit, I received so much personal revelation and guidance. Now
whether you’re in this class or the real world, the advice is the same, always
stay humble enough to learn from others and the spirit, no matter how many
times you think you’ve heard something. Never let your pride allow you to think
that you’re smarter or know more than the next person because the truth is you’re
not. You have something valuable to learn from every person that comes into
your life, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc. Humility is the
key to all things good and so is kindness. In order to strive for humility, you
must strive for kindness and generosity, service and love. They all go hand in
hand and will make you happier than owning any amount of money ever will. This
is my prayer for you, that you may remember these things as you embark on your own
journey. The best of luck!
Sincerely,
Jenneca Allred
P.S. Thank you. Even thought I don’t know you, you’ve
already taught me so much, just by allowing me the opportunity to write you
this letter.
