Sometimes in the midst of stress and school, I have to remind myself to sit back and remember how blessed I am to have the opportunity to be here at all.
I'm finishing up my 4th year at Brigham University, and it's been an incredible journey. Yesterday in the car I all of the sudden realized that this is my last real semester. This is the end of a huge experience- one that will never happen again in quite the same way.
I'm grateful for all that I've learned, the opportunities I've had for research, networking, mind-blowing ideas, and preparation for my future. That I have the capacity and resources to come here, do well, and be prepared enough that I know I can succeed in the future. And, because of generous offerings from members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and BYU alumni, I've had most of my education paid for.
After this year, I plan to save money like crazy for graduate school. Then, if Heavenly Father's plans align with mine (yeah, I know, probably not likely), I'll be off to a master's program in 2014.
Life is all about opportunities: those you are blessed to have, and those you work hard to create for yourself. I'm grateful for both.
