Our Family

Over the many years of going to temple, it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Speaking truthfully, I still find going to temple every Sunday a hassle for multiple reasons. This is not because of laziness, it’s not because I have no beliefs in the idea of praying. The reason was being selfish because I didn’t feel I had the time to do what I wanted to do personally. Before, I had classes Monday through Thursday for almost the whole day. I would only have 2 days to myself to do what I wanted, whether it be playing games, going out with friends, or just mindlessly wandering on the internet. I just really wanted this time to myself. Despite all this, I went every Sunday due to parents harassing and the thought of siblings being lonely. I was told by my parents, “You are the role model for your other siblings to keep coming to temple, so if you go they go”. This really didn’t surprise me, but it was saddening to say it is true. This was my journey through the enjoyable and lost days of my life at GĐPT.
