I remember what a worry wart I was as I endured through the vigorous application process for Brigham Young University. During the week I worked on the application, my cousins from Colorado were visiting, it was the week of Thanksgiving, and I was in the school play. I hurried from practices, to interviews, to family activities. It was very exciting. It was such a blessing when I read my acceptance letter. What was next?
I started working at the Creamery Outlet at the beginning of October. It is my first job. I get to run the cash register, stock milk, sweep the floor, put donuts and cookies in the bakery case, and scoop ice cream. Overall, it has been a pretty good job.
My greatest 'aha' moment has been realizing the great impact this short experience in my life will bring to my current and future family. I know that it is my job to be the best student I can be right now, and I see many improvements I can make.
I can start on projects earlier, read my assigned chapters when they are assigned, go to bed earlier, eat better food, and exercise more often. Although these may all seem like obvious improvements, they are pretty difficult goals and it takes experience to learn their true value.
Overall my BYU experience has been exciting. I have always liked to be home, and this has been my first major adventure away from home. Although I have missed laying down and watching TV, my experience has been positive one because I've made friends, learned a lot, and accomplished more than I thought possible. I am very grateful for my teachers, neighbors, friends, and family who have have supported me and helped me all along.
