Reading Friday With Morrie, A Very Interesting Book

Reading Tuesday with Morrie is a very interesting book. Reading the book has shown me some lessons that can help with the path I have chosen to take when it comes to my life. In this journal I would be talking about the things that stood out to me and what is important to me. These things are family, acceptance, love, emotions, and forgiveness. Family has played a huge role in my life. My great grandmother raised me and she always told me not matter me and my family may go through it is important that we stick together. Family means everything to me, and I could not imagine not having their support, especially when it comes to making decisions in my life that they may not agree with.There is a part in the book that really stood out to me â€Å" If you do not have the support and love and caring you get from family, you do not have much at all† (91). Reading these words has put into perspective of what my great grandmother meant when she said that our family must stick together no matter what. At times I have felt as though I need to separate myself from my family because of all the negative things that had been going on in my life, not realizing that what I needed at the time was that family support, to help me get through what I was going through. Because I had been to jail and was unable to retain employment, I struggled with being accepted from peers. I always thought that the people I was around judged me because I had made a mistake that landed me in jail.
