I love BYU

So, last week I had a test in my Chemical Engineering class. The test was made available for us to have after it was graded, so I can actually put this on here. How many places out there have this as part of the directions for the test?

"Now, relax, take a deep breath, and have faith in your abilities. Pray and ask Father to help you recall what you have studied and learned. Ask him to help you avoid simple mistakes. Finally, make sure to spend the most time on the problems that are worth the most points."

I love that here at BYU, not only are we encouraged and expected to live the Honor Code (dress standards, word of wisdom, honesty, etc.) but our professors encourage us to pray and ask for help. Most of my classes begin with a prayer, and in some that don't my professor has told us that we should have a personal prayer before class starts to understand the material better. I feel so incredibly blessed to be here at BYU. We have general authorities as our university presidents, prophets and apostles come here regularly to speak, and many of our professors are in stake presidencies and bishoprics. Ah! :) So awesome.

  1. I totally agree! BYU is the best place ever! I can't wait to get back there. I still can't believe how smart you are for doing chemical engineering!
