I absolutely want to go to college so I will "get as much education as possible" and learn and grow to my greatest capacity! That's the goal. But where is the best place for me?
I have been thinking mostly about Brigham Young or Southern Virginia just because the vast majority of the student bodies are LDS and it would be a good environment. I would mostly like to get away from small town North Carolina and go somewhere further than a couple hours away. If I were to go to college in North Carolina, closer to home, it would be Appalachian State, Brevard, or UNC Greensboro.
I just took the ACT and I'm awaiting my score, and I haven't taken the SAT yet. There is just SO much that we as teenagers have on our plates!
It is a tough road to college and It is hard leaving behind friends and family and go somewhere that I know hardly anyone. The biggest comfort I have in this thought, is the church is always going to be there. There will always be a place that I will be able to go and meet new people who will welcome me with open arms. There will always be institute and young womens and relief society. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is something that I am truly grateful to be a part of and to have as a pillar holding me up and as a light to guide my path. I know that no matter what I face, wherever I decide to go to college or whatever profession I decide to pursue, The Lord will be there to guide me and praise my accomplishments and reprimand me for my mistakes.
Lets hope it gets easier and be prepared for when it doesn't.
<3 Stay strong.
