The honor code lifestyle that we live at BYU reminds us of our standards as members of the LDS church. It keeps us out of trouble and helps us to stay on the righteous path easier. By committing to living the honor code, it trains us to develop will power, patience, and responsibility. By helps us better determine right from wrong and we are able to see the light during dark times.
2. What blessings have come into your life because of your obedience to the honor code?
My former roommate had a boyfriend who would always sleep over because she had her own room across the bathroom vanity. It was very inconvenient for the rest of us and also very uncomfortable. But thanks to the honor code, she was not able to continue doing this for very long because it was against BYU Housing Guidelines. My other roommate and I were able to get back our privacy and live within our apartment with peace.
3. Through your role in BYUSA, in what ways can you "inspire and educate" other students about the Honor Code?
By living by the Honor Code, I can "inspire and educate" others through the example I am projecting. Having a leadership position in BYUSA, it is my responsibility to be an example for my peers. And by having this role, people do look to me for that example. I can make sure that my visitors leave at the right time of the night, which will invite others to do the same. I can make sure that I abstain from anything that will hurt me physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
