I hope you enjoy my very own commandments. My First Commandment will be: Thou shall not judge the height of a person. I chose this commandment because as a tall girl I’m often being “teased” of my height. I know its not a form of bulling as my friends do it as a joke. I feel like no one should feel insecure with their height because it is what makes you unique and different. It doesn’t matter if your tall or short because they all have their perks.

Yet, those who are vain and take pride in themselves are shunned in modern day society. To be fully humble and willing to serve others at the drop of a dime is nearly impossible, nor desirable.

These activities include: social media, hanging out with friends, working out, haircuts every couple weeks, brushing my teeth, going to parties, and studying/getting good grades.
