I'm a graduate.

It's been a little over a week and still hasn't really sunk in. I am a graduate, alumna, if you will, :) from Brigham Young University. For the last five years I've worked hard, learned a lot, and got a little closer to being the person I want to become. This video was released right after graduation, making it's ability to pull at my heart strings quite timely. In it, President Worthlin, I like to call him Kevin, shares a few reasons why BYU is such an incredible university. I'm really grateful for my education and experiences at the this fantastic place.

A few notes from the ceremonies: 

"be grateful, serve, keep a journal, remember the importance of faith, live worthily so you can receive new spiritual experiences, enjoy the journey."

"Optimism is to use whatever remains from your education."

"Your data of knowledge fades but the residue of refinement becomes ever more evident."

"The value of college is the value of being human."

"We are the stories we tell."
