The McCandles Project
I chose to do the experiment where I sat at a completely different table at lunch. My friends at my usual lunch table all thought that they did something to make me upset so they all came up behind me and kept asking me if they did anything wrong and if they did, that I would forgive them. However, I did not say a word but inside my mind, I was laughing like crazy. I felt like I was being cared and I knew that my friends were my true friends because they did not leave until I told them that I would tell them the reason why I was sitting at another table sometime else. Sitting at a different lunch table was fine because I had some of my other friends at it so I ate lunch having a good conversation with them. Surprisingly, I was not shocked by my friends' reactions. The reason is because I knew that my friends and I have a good relationship so I was aware that they would at least do something to bring me back.
In the other hand, I didn't really feel free. Maybe because it was only during lunch. I still don't get how sitting at a different lunch table makes you free though. Overall, I thought that this whole project was very interesting and I hope that we could do more of these projects later on.

My Favorite Quote
"I
can do everything through him who gives me strength"
(Philippians
4:13)
I chose this specific quote because
it truly motivated me to do my best to glorify the Father’s name. Adding to
that, it really helped me to believe that all things are possible. When I go to
church on Sunday mornings, and learn and get reminded that our purpose in life
is to spread the Father’s glory, in the past sometimes I felt that I
couldn't do it. I felt like I was just small person living in this humongous
world and I became shocked and questioned myself how this would be
possible. However, after reading this verse, I truly realized that I
could do everything through him and it made me confident. Now I know that God
will help me in all things I do. It also made me really understand how great God
is, and how powerful he is. Even though, we may be weak and small, we serve a
much bigger and greater God and he will make all things possible to those who believe. Even in all the hardship you may have in life, and also the pain and suffering you may have right now, God will help you overcome that obstacle as long as you believe. For God is love.
This quotation represents my actions
because now I do not hesitate before I do anything. Before I read this
verse, when I had a recital or an audition, I would always be so nervous and my
hands would get as cold as ice. I thought I couldn't play the piece I had to perform. Also my heart would be pounding faster
than the speed of light. However, after reading this verse, when I had
auditions or a recital, I stood strong because I knew that God was always
with me and that I could truly do everything through God's help. Even in the
future, I will always be strong and courageous and I will never be afraid to do a certain task.
If I literally lived every second of
my life by this verse, I would do everything without being scared. Even in any
situation, I would always believe in Him, and never lose hope. Even though I
may have lost a battle, that doesn’t mean that I have lost the war, and I would
always live my life with a strong mentality and I would be positive and believe
that God has plans for me.
