[Sarcasm]

Since this is my blog I believe I have the right to type anything I want.

Today the object is "sarcasm." You could be sarcastic. You can sarcasm. You will be sarcasmed. Saying this word a lot makes an excellent point of the foolishness of the english language. In all sense I enjoy sarcasm and the english language. I look at myself from the outside and see a college student. I didn't expect much but I'm glad I fulfilled requirements. During my lustrous high school career, teachers often stared at me in disbelief after I made comments. Their questioned looks led to a nice grin on my face. After my grin they teacher would say, "I can never tell if your serious." I find this to relate to sarcasm because sarcasm and serious both start with the letter 's'. Since receiving this assignment from Sister Steadman I have noticed I can't help but enjoy the humor which I bring to the table. It is very aggravating to others yet it pleasures me. This humor is located everywhere you look for it. The smart and the less smarter. But you see it takes a smarter person to get it. And a lesser to not get it.

After writing this blog I realized the foolishness of this word. Sarcasm. Who would've thought we would be writing about it.

My data concludes that I don't think I would be very funny without sarcasm. I float like a butterfly and when opportunity knocks I sting like a bee. Sarcasm is not to be fiddled with.

A Child of God - Eyring 1

To me the greatest characteristic of a great learner is that 'great learners help other people.' I've been watching a documentary on a football team camp. In the camp there is a fierce battle for the starting position of a Defensive Back. There is a rookie and a veteran in the running for this position. The thing that makes this story so great is that even though it is the veteran's job at stake, he still encourages and teaches the rookie how to best play the position.
Two of the greatest characteristics of teaching are service and love. Through helping others in the conquest of learning and we are giving service, and when we give service we love. Elder Eyring put it best when he said "Because of that you will find that the best learners make the best company." The reason? Because of their love and service.
