The Conformist.

In our everyday life how can our moral values be disrupted by social gatherings? Think about it are you really yourself when you have your pals or family around you? When it comes down to knowing who you are, do you know who you are? Are you honest with yourself and everyone else around you? There are many times in life where you will forget and you will swim up the stream instead of swimming down. There's a thousand ways things will fall apart but it's no ones fault but yours. You won't be able to distinguish who've you've become compared to who you used to be.
So hold on to you moral values and be true to yourself because your dignity is all you have. Don't lower your standards to become popular or become someone who's up to date to every trend. Don't be afraid to be different, there's plenty of people already trying to be someone they're not. embrace your uniqueness. If it bothers you to be different, then go ahead and change everything, else if it bothers you that much. You will just become a conformist that's what society wants you to be. Society doesn't want you to have your own mind, it wants to control your every move, they want to tell you what to become. They throw images through the media, even all throughout your life, they want you to become a good citizen of the United States. I remember standing in line before going to class in elementary, saying the Pledge of the Allegiance, and by the sixth grade you already know the National Anthem Of the United States, and you sing it with pride. This is your nation, this is  your time. Do something with it. Don't get me wrong, this is my pride and joy, I've become the person I am today due to the fact that I was raised here. I will stand behind this nation even if at times I may not agree with what they decide to do.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they teach you that you should be true to yourself and that you should obey all rules and laws. You must follow, you must seek and then you will find the truth. The church encourages you to become a successful person in this world. They give you opportunities to be someone and to prove yourself to them. They don't want you to be a conformist they want you to conquer the world if you want to. As long as you choose the right thing. As a person who grew up outside the church, I had my goals I always left them unreached due to the lack of ambition. Now that I'm in the church, I know who I want to become.
