Children Who Stand Tall

Standing for the Right

Standing for the right

Hi, I’m Evan! I live in Ireland, and I like to play a game called hurling. It’s an Irish sport that’s like field hockey. My favorite subject is math. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a blessing to me.

Standing Tall at School

A new boy at school bullied my sisters. I stepped between them and protected my sisters. I also obey the Word of Wisdom. Many students at school drink tea and coffee. When someone offers me tea, I say, “No, thank you.”

Praying with Friends

I go to a Catholic school. My sisters and I are the only students there who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When my grandma was sick, I asked my teacher if I could say a prayer for her. Everyone in class folded their arms and bowed their heads. I said a prayer out loud in front of the class.

Be an Example

My friends at school see that I’m happy. I set a good example by not swearing or taking the Lord’s name in vain. I can also be an example in my family.

The Best Big Brother

I make goals to keep doing what is right. I help my parents take care of my sisters. When my sisters are scared, I play with them until they forget they are afraid. One time when my parents were away, I told my sister stories until she fell asleep.
