We believe David Well's message calls us to take God's viewing of us and make meaning of this. Understand we truly are willed, loved and called for a purpose. With a strong foundation of oneself, we can accept all things that come our way (challenges or building ourselves as people) and use it to be the best we can and to help others as well.

His message was that you are not an accident and that god made you perfect and not to change yourself for others. His message was of acceptance- how to accept yourself for others. We are all perfect in our own ways, and we shouldn't listen to other peoples opinions.

To be who you are so that others accept you for you and not for something you are falsely portraying to be. Accepting your situation so that your life moves forward because it is not a competition, you have time to figure out yourself along with your purpose.

Summary: We believe that David well's message was about finding ourselves. About becoming the person God created us to be, and about discovering our purpose. We also felt that the message meant, to love ourselves and to know we are all created beautifully in the eyes of God, despite what the world thinks of us. And most of all Love. The message revolved around Love. We should live in love and "look with the eyes of the heart".

A student leader in my discussion group had mentioned that there's so much more than what someone can see of us. We aren't just grades on a transcript because are so much more than that.

We are who we are, and we can't change but only grow. We are meant to be an individual, true to themselves because we are meant to be who we are because God made us the way he did.

The sandwich story told by David raised many ideas within our group. We noted that the less fortunate often are wiser and are willing to share the little resources they have. This can also be viewed from the other perspective in the Gospel of Marc. A man wants to have eternal life but does not want to give away all of his materialistic possessions

Main message: To think about how God created us and who we are meant to be. To find who we truly are and to accept ourselves. That God doesn't just see us as a grade or just our looks.

"to accept ourself and to not compare ourselves to other people"

The main takeaway that student leaders pointed out was the importance of authenticity. Being authentically ourselves. Most of us dull what makes us shine, but try to fit in the moulded that we think others want us to be. We are all unique and God loves us exactly for who we are, so we must learn to do that too.

How we try to be so perfect for society, how we seek approval of other. In high school, we constantly seek approval of others because we don't want to be cast aside from the popular people. On Social media, we seek approval from people who don't really care, we just care about the amount likes we have, but can't even wave to those people in real life. We don't have to be perfect for other people.
