The Scarred Apple

This apple didn't look perfect. It was a little dirty and scarred. I didn't worry that it wasn't perfect. When I washed it, cut it up, and ate it; it tasted delicious! If I didn't accept the apple's imperfection, I wouldn't have known it was so good!

I like the theme “Accepting Imperfections” because a sunset might not have all of the colors in a perfect rainbow and the colors slowly change and fade over time. We try to be the best that we can, but sometimes we’re not always perfect either just like the sunset’s colors that can fade over time. But it is still beautiful to look at.

I took this picture at Bear Lake as fast as I could to capture the moment but there were people in the way. I wanted to catch the sunset on the water, but every second it was changing. I decided to take the picture anyway. I was just going to wait for the people to move away but the sunset was disappearing. Capturing the moment means accepting imperfections, sometimes.

How my image relates to accepting imperfection is that nobody’s perfect at everything. Like me. I am not perfect at basketball. Nobody is. One of my favorite quotes that relates to basketball is from Michael Jordan in the quote he says that he’s missed over 900 shots and has lost over 300 games. If you don’t accept imperfection, then it will just bring you down and you won’t learn anything and you won’t grow. When you do accept it, then you can work harder and practice more to become better.

Some people think that when you have dandelions in your yard, it makes the yard imperfect. But children love them and think of them as a precious gift.
Some people think that Dandelions have no use at all, but others know that the flowers, roots, and leaves have good health benefits. Some of those benefits are reducing inflammation & improving liver health.
Sometimes accepting things that seem like imperfections, can be a great benefit to many.
