Last Semester at BYU!

Sometimes I feel like it was just yesterday that I got home from my mission and headed to Provo, UT to attend BYU. Then I recall four years of fun, exciting, educational, and interesting memories that help me realize that it truly is my time to graduate. I am in my last semester of classes and can see the light at the end of the tunnel! At the beginning, I didn't quite know what to expect going to college. There were a lot of surprises and unexpected outcomes, but it has been full of new experiences and opportunities that I will always cherish. I have made friendships that I hope will last throughout the years to come. I have enjoyed being part of BYU's folk dance ensemble, performing for elementary schools all over Utah. I have loved being a member of the BYU racquetball team. I have grown from learning how to balance work, school, extracurricular activities, and church responsibilities. I am grateful for work experience in physical therapy, window washing, youth counseling, door-to-door sales, managerial work, food preparation, and janitorial services. I am now looking forward to working as a recreation therapist at the state hospital where I will be an intern for 4 months. After that, I have decisions to make. I can get a job as a full-time recreation therapist and work for a year or two, and then go on to get a master's. Or I can go go straight into a master's program. I have decided that I want to get a master's in Public Administration. But I still have this fork in the middle of the road that I have to deal with. I'll let you know what I decide and what the outcome will be!
