And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time (T.S. Eliot)."
I thought walking for graduation this April was going to be anticlimactic because I kind of slinked out of BYU a year ago and haven't been back since. But, despite how crazy and odd the whole graduation ceremony tradition is, I was hit with a spaz of excitement the second I ran to my seat just minutes before the ceremony began. I loved listening to my professors and the other speakers in the Humanities field. It made me feel so anxious to go back to school, not really excited to leave it! I think it's time to get ready for grad school! I was so grateful that Scott and my mom were able to come. It was so fun to have a day that was just for me, and I felt so special. I am so grateful that the Lord told me in no uncertain terms to go to BYU. I can trace the greatest pieces of who I am and what in my life makes me happy and proud to my decision to go to the Y (I can't believe I say this! And most people wouldn't believe me after hearing this that I really am a U fan!). Through BYU, I met some of the greatest friends that will be in my life forever. We helped each other through everything and played our way through every adventure. I saw a little bit of the world as I studied in other countries. I became best friends with my cousin Kyle because we were both at BYU. I became a riverguide and discovered a whole new collection of mountains and trails! I prepared my mind for a life of learning. I met the man of my dreams (which isn't even cheesy, because it's actually true). I'm so grateful for my parents who made it all possible!
