2A Daily News –Wednesday, November 30, 2011 Community people&events Lassen View holds 3rd Annual Turkey Trot Let go of what you didn't know My formidable years were inspired by television shows like Oprah and Phil Donahue. I learned a lot about everyday things and social issues by the television. Whether those were good role mod- els is subjective to what role models I had in my home. I learned about taboo issues that I lived with from Oprah and that I didn't have to live that way and through the years I learned about other important things like how to forgive and how to give back by her example. I had a lot of Aha moments between the ages of 10 and 13 watching her show after school and later as a young adult and mother. She shaped my life. DAIRYVILLE —Lassen View School held its 3rd Annual Turkey Trot on Nov. 22. It was a total success as more than 100 fourth through eighth grade students partici- pated in the run. Each of the seven primary classes were armed with pom poms and posters were strategically placed along the path to cheer on their schoolmates. A special guest, the Lion mas- cot, also made an appearance this year and ran in his first ever Turkey Trot. First place winners received turkeys, second place win- ners earned hams and third place winners took home pump- kin pies. The event was sponsored by Lassen View Booster Club. The results are as follows: 7th and 8th Grade Boys: First place Dom Tating, Second place Kegan Richards, Third place Dusty Crain; 7th and 8th Grade Girls: First Place Kloie Hiemstra, Second Place Jennifer Silvera, Third Place Allyson Drury and Elizabeth Baccala; 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade Boys: First Place Marshal Brose, Second Place Ian Hagen, Third Place Cody Gillespie; 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade Girls: First Place Rachel Rogers, Second Place Tyler Ellen- berger, Third Place Maggie Winning.

If you feel a factual error has been made in a news story, call the news department at 527-2153. One of the greatest things I learned from her show is that when you know better, you do better. This is a life lesson she learned from Maya Angelou. When you know better, you do better. When I was a child, I didn't have a parent in my life teaching me any- thing in particular other than what I call how to duck and hide. I learned my social skills on the playground through trial and error which is a brutal way to learn. All the way through school children are subject to the ebb and flow of acceptance and alienation from their peer group generated by favoritisms, pecking orders and other factors. It shapes their coping skills, their self-esteem and forms who they are as a young adult. As a young adult there were so many things I did not know. So many social mistakes I made. So many things I did wrong. I didn't know bet- ter, but I learned. When I knew better, I did better. Sometimes it took years to figure out that a way I thought or an action I did was not in my best inter- est or was not going to get me where I wanted to be in life. When I finally learned, I was able to change my behavior. Quite frankly, I am still learning important life lessons. When I do, I will change. The hardest part is forgiving yourself or others when they see the light and make the change. It is hard to accept that someone doesn't do a negative thing after you've wit- nessed it for so long. It's hard to believe when you have known some- one since grade school that they are not who you labeled them to be. It is hard to allow yourself the humanism to know that what you used to do was not ok, not helpful, hurt others but that you understand now and want to do better. You deserve the forgiveness. It is the way you can move forward in life and grow. Wisdom does not come from having never made mistakes. Wisdom comes from living both sides of the coin and know- ing the feelings associated with both. Faydra Rector You Matter I used to over eat and hate myself for not being able to look like the other soccer moms in my twen- ties. I learned what I was doing wrong and lost 100 pounds. What did you used to do and stopped? What traits did you over- come? Who was your Oprah and taught you a better way to think? You do what you know, when you know better, you will do better. Part of that knowing is accepting we are all going to do stupid crap and we all get the chance to change.
