I’m 15, and I’m a sophomore in high school. I play three sports: basketball, volleyball, and softball. My whole life is pretty much sports and family.
During COVID, with the uncertainty of the school year, I had to trust that the Lord knows what is best for everyone. My school actually got to return to campus, which was the best for me, because I’m not a great off-site learner.
In my school there are only three members of the Church. It’s a little hard that they’re not even in my classes or my grade. But even if most of my friends aren’t Latter-day Saints, I can find others with good standards. It helps me to be around people who won’t bring me down.
To “Hear Him,” I like to spend time alone and pray and look up scriptures about my problems. Doing this helps me to know what the Lord wants me to do in a given situation and to think about how He would react.
