Brigham Young University

For the record, BYU is where I want to go as far as colleges go when I'm done with my general requirements. By this time next year, I'll have more than enough credits to transfer. I'll also have a 3.5 GPA or better. Going to a Community college first was a definite blessing on my part.

When I was in high school, I never really thought about college, or my future for that matter. It wasn't until the last couple of months of my senior year when I started to even remotely think about what I wanted to do with my life. I enrolled in St.Cloud Technical College in the spring of 2008. It was here where I realized that the college atmosphere was what I really needed in my life to get me started with my life. Unlike high school, college involves course and classes one takes to find themselves. My first semester was a blast! I found myself spending more time on things that were important rather than things that blocked my mind from thinking. I challenged myself, and by doing this, I was able to get better grades and make smart and amazing friends.

In two weeks, my freshman year of college will be complete! My younger sister, Whiltey and I are tied as far as credits and semesters we both have taken. For some people, this might be a weird situation, but for Whitley and I, we both love being together. This is absolutely perfect.

I've decided that after my credits are above 45 and my GPA is right where I want it, I will apply to BYU-Utah.

I feel like I belong here. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am blessed to have to true church in my life. Going to the Lord's University will be the greatest accomplishment of my life. I deserve to go to such an amazing place where I can better myself for my future career and my future family as well. I'm excited to start this amazing journey in my life. Saying prayers in the classroom is what I look forward to.
