Woke up at 6:10am, astonished by the snow, I expected graduation would be cold and dark. Well, all the snow melted and it was actually warm by the time convocation started.
Today, April 22nd of 2010, over 6,000 students graduated from Brigham Young University. I graduated from Marriott Business School, Recreation Management and Youth Leadership, optioning Recreation Therapy. I have to be honest. I was much happier than I thought I would be. My husband, David's support was tremendous so as my parents, family members and friends. So, cheers for them as well.
The guest speaker was Elder Todd Christofferson, the twelve apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He talked about his good colleague brother Hugh Nibley, who said the only thing we can be good at is to forgive and to repent. That is what we tested here on the earth, and I should not take other things too seriously. Like I should not get so serious about bugging David to clean the house with me. JK.
I thought a talk from Alumni association was funny. He said consider CTR as also "Choose to Replenish." He meant to let us continue this great institution of learning through the Spirit, generation to generation. Still, it was funny to me.
I was very lucky to sit at the very front raw of the Bachelor Student (woo hoo to the Marriott Business School and my friend Sarah who was lining up at the very front). But since I was very front, it took forever to find David who sat at the very back of the Marriott center. It was rather dramatic when we found each other the size of the thumb.
I have many future plans. Becoming a mother, getting a job, and going to a graduate school are my top 3 interests. So my job is to be prepared for whatever comes next. I am grateful that my future is bright regardless of whatever I choose to do.
