They May Be Young But They See All

They may be Young but they see all I was always told that I was to young to understand what was going on in my family & my life But I wasn't. I was told to be a Sunday School teacher for high school teens I was scared and I was afraid not to tell them about god but scared and afraid of what to teach them because I know in my heart that I'm a sinful person I'm not perfect and no one is but I was surprised at the outcome of this class I prayed to the heavenly father to help me, guide me. I believe he did because at that moment question came to my mind if I was a student how would I want to learn about god? and I love to write so I got each student their personal notebook I told them to write what ever comes to mind and if they want me to read it I will collected the books every first Sunday of the month. I was surprised at how many notebooks I had to take home I read each and every notebook and cried. Because this teens have been through a lot and are still holding it all in. all my problems seem to be less of a problem after the third and the fourth notebook. I have to admit I miss them all so dearly. Growing up in a Samoan family became my burden, traditions that should help us grow was holding them back from fully blooming. some Samoan family would never realize the heavy burden they have given their children to carry, while some Samoan family have looked outside the box and have given their children room to grow. Yet my students became my teachers, My sisters, My daughters. Each Sunday had them one by one teaching and read scripters from the bible discussing how it relates to us now. they see a lot and they remember everything yet they are told that they are to young to understand I believe they grew up too fast they became adults. while they are moving forward the adults are still the adults maybe we are to young to understand but can they be to old to know to much yet they just don't care I could never fully understand God your will shall be done
