Final Words

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.
