Today I taught my first lesson in primary as a new teacher for the valiant 9 class. I talked about peer pressure and how we can be influenced with negative pressure or even positive pressure. Sometimes we get caught up in life to not think of the situations we put ourselves in. We can choose the right way to follow Him. In school it's hard to be around positive pressure because a lot of school kids don't live the same standards as some. As you find those friends who have the same standards as you do you will begin to strive and to live those high standards. I am so thankful for the friends that I have had who understood my standards and how I wanted to live them. I wasn't your average high school girl. I didn't go to parties, I didn't do drugs, I chose the right. I knew what my standards were and what I was living for. I was living to return to my Heavenly Father. To be able to go to the temple. I am thankful for the positive peer pressure of my friends and the church that have allowed me to keep the commandments and the word of wisdom.
