I did it! I finally graduated from College with my Bachelors Degree. It is a great feeling to have time to relax, but it still feels like I’m just having a break and I’ll be back for more.
My parents and Ben were gracious enough to drive the four hours to watch me simply walk across a pulpit and shake a few hands. It was fun to see some of my classmates that had gone their separate ways for student teaching. I wish them all the best of luck and I’m a tiny bit jealous that they actually get to teach. (I’ll be staying home with Hallie.)
The commencement was perfect. President Clark spoke about letting the light of Christ shine through us where ever we may be and what ever we may be doing. Then Elder Ballard spoke about how Jesus Christ was the master teacher and that nothing will be more important than teaching others whatever profession we chose. He also mentioned the fact that we need to always be improving. He said that after conference the quorum of the twelve and the first presigdency got together and discussed what they all thought about conference. He said they saw room for improvement and discussed what needs to change.
Going to college was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will never regret choosing Idaho or my Elementary Education major. Softball, church callings, roommates, crazy activities, service counsel-kid connection, devotionals and so much more made college an amazing experience for me. The Lord has led me every step of the way and I will miss the college scene.
So here’s to the next chapter of my life. Raising a family.
