BYU

For five years of my life (that's basically one-fifth of my earthly existence, if you can believe it), I was learning, living, and experiencing the BYU experience. Five years of classes, exams, dances, roommates, church congregations, a cappella club, music ensembles, library work, and so much more have truly shaped my life for the better.

Brigham Young University is a wonderful, exceptional place to learn and grow. I won't be conviced otherwise otherwise because I have lived and learned and loved it there for five years. I can say, truly, sincerely, that I have been intellectually enlarged, my character has been building, I have been spiritually strengthened, and I have a strong personal commitment to life-long learning and service. I entered to learn, and now I go forth to serve. I truly intend to. I am grateful, so very grateful, for Brigham Young University in Provo, UT.

In short: It's been great, BYU. Thanks for the great times. Thanks for letting me walk around in a cap and gown and tassel today. :)
