My Educational Ideal

I recently finished a Study Skills class, and as part of that I put together a lapbook sort of thing for my educational ideal. Mostly this is just something to look at when I really, really don't want to study and lose my sense of purpose in education.
Here is a list of everything that I put in my book:

A picture of the angel Moroni.


"Always be where the Lord can find you."


A list of the Young Women Values: Faith, Divine Nature, Individual Worth, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity and Virtue.


"It is the rhythm of the dancers
That gives the poets life.
It is the spirit of the poets
That gives the soldiers strength to fight.
It is the fire of the young ones,
It is the wisdom of the old.
It is the story of the poor man
That's needing to be told."
-City on the Hill, by Casting Crowns

"A beautiful face doesn't mean anything without a beautiful heart."

"Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go."
-Iridescent, by Linkin Park

"Be with someone who makes you happy."

"The future belongs to hearts even more than it does to minds."
-Victor Hugo

"Beauty and ugliness surround us. We decide what we see."

"When you feel you're alone,
Cut off from this cruel world,
Your instincts telling you to run,
Listen to your heart.
Those angel voices,
They'll sing to you.
They'll be your guide
Back home.

When you're suffered enough
And your spirit is breaking,
You're growing desperate from the fight

Remember you're loved
And you always will be.

When life leaves us blind,
Love keeps us kind.
It keeps us kind."
-The Messenger, by Linkin Park

"I want my heart and my passion to be the most beautiful things about me."

"She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid,
And so did she.
They searched for blue
Their whole life through,
Then passed right by-
And never knew."
-Shel Silverstein

"Do what is right, not what is easy."

"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
-Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

"Awaken."

"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell."
-Belle

And especially for my husband, whoever he is.

"We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain.
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain.
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream,
He can redeem his soul and fly.

Deep  in my heart, there's a trembling question.
Still I am sure that the answer is gonna come somehow.
Out there in the dark there's a beckoning candle,
And while I can think, while I can talk,
While I can stand, while I can walk,
While I can dream,
Please let my dream
Come true."
-If I Can Dream, by Elvis Presley

"Because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path, utterly alone, we don't have to."
- Jeffrey R. Holland

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."
-e.e. cummings

"Adversity: Let it make you better, not bitter."

"Today is the day!"

"I hate the idea that, when it comes to books and learning, hard is often seen as the opposite of fun. It's strange to me that we should be so quick to give up on a book or a math problem when we are so willing to grapple for centuries, if necessary, with a single level of Angry Birds."
-John Green

A picture of a tree.

A list of some qualities that one of my best friends sees in me, and I am trying to develop.

Anyway, that's all I have. So far it has helped me a lot, while working on academic subjects, building relationships, and trying to be a generally good person.
