So today was Mr. ACI, which was totally hectic. I was in charge of curtains and giving signals to the contestants. With another person backstage, we were all in each others' face in a joking kind of argument. Then someone else came by and looked at me and was like, "yo christian, cool it!". Yeah, that shut me up. I was extremely taken off guard by that. So I know that I'm usually (hardly) ever the model Christian, but I've never actually had someone say something like that to my face. So I'm thinking "dang, this is the impression i'm giving to christianity?" Also, some of the contestants were commenting on how one of the judges (a teacher) was christian, and some were like "no waaaay, why is he so mean then?" After hearing both incidents, i definitely was more mellow after. Less yelling, more encouraging. It was really so much better after i chilled out because I was able to joke around and easily talk to the others backstage, and talking got just as much done as assertiveness. I've thought about my attitude before, but I've never really tried to do anything about it because I've just considered it a part of me. But now that it's come to my attention, I realize that I don't just make an impression on myself anymore. I make an impression on christainity as well. I'll take some baby steps eventually.

Very good example, yes, we are sort of like celebrities. Our every move is being watched. As a matter of fact, ppl remember what we do and sort of gauge us through that.
