KSL Experience

In my social media marketing 105 class we got to go to a KSL spot set up with A Judges chair from the TV show "The Voice"
We had a blast taking selfies and doing videos and having a dance party.
I learned a lot about the effect of hashtags and group effort.

Day 3 at the BC

Today was great! I am really enjoying my COM 122 class. Today we were in groups. My group had to define hope. It was interesting discussing together and being able to have the spirit, use the scriptures and discuss mission experiences. I am loving being at a Church College. Having each class centered on the spirit of learning truly makes a difference.

In SMM 105 we learned about personal branding. It was interesting to think about how I am seen. Who do I represent? What do people see in me? What do people say about me when I leave the room? Our actions become our branding.  Are we representing what we want to represent?

We had a fun discussion about what hashtags are. If you had to vote what hashtag would you choose for the class?

Day 2 at the LDSBC

So the Second day at the BC was a lot of fun. I got to sing in my Choir class it felt wonderful to feel the spirit and hear all the talented voices blending together.

I really enjoyed my ENTR 150 class as well. I liked the discussions we had. We truly spoke our minds. It is interesting to hear all the different views of the class.

In business class we did a great group activity where we had a business given to us and we had to define our weaknesses and our strengths. Then we were given a situation where the business fell. We then had to work together to fix the problem. My group was great and we truly worked together. It made me excited for this semester to learn new things and work with my group.

First day at the BC

Today I was a little jittery full of nerves and excitement for my first day at college.

I was truly blessed to have friends in classes. I truly enjoy each of my professors and know that these classes will help me improve my life and future.

It was fun getting to know everyone and getting to know what this year has in store. I am a little stressed with my assignments but I am excited to learn many new things and have my mind enlightened.

I am ready for day 2 BRING IT ON!

NSO Day 2

So the second day of orientation was also a great day. I had fun spending time with the people I met the day before. I also got my student ID and felt "officially" part of the school.

We also had an uplifting devotional. I learned many new things. One thing that really stuck with me is finding a mentor and keeping a mentor in our life. A mentor being someone who lifts you up and is a role model. They also taught about how we can become mentors ourselves. It made me realize that I have a great potential to influence others lives.

We also learned that we each have a specific purpose in being here at this school at this time.

This college is truly centered on Christ.

NSO Day One

Coming to college for the first time was an exciting and nerve rattling experience. What was nice was having the slightly cheesy but also very spiritual Orientation.

Day one I was able to meet some great people. I also felt the spirit strong and knew that I am here for a purpose. I really liked what one speaker had us do. She said, "Imagine your fleet of angels standing on that ledge. If you do not believe you have a fleet of angels you're wrong. I testify that you do."
She then had us get in groups and basically brag about ourselves. She said, "Imagine one of your angels are speaking. What would they say about you?" It was a great experience to realize and share that I do have strengths in certain things. It was also nice to hear the strengths of the people in my group. It reminded me that we are all different. Heavenly Father has given us different talents to serve Him. I am excited to use my talents and open my eyes to His plan for me.

I also really enjoyed one of the workshops titled "Temples Of Learning" being endowed I really wanted to check out this workshop. I had great insight that like the temple the school teaches us about life and how to learn. It reminded me that knowledge and our earthly relationships are two things we get to take to Heaven. It also helped me to know that this school is Centered on Jesus Christ. My favorite part of that workshop was when the teacher took us to the window and we looked at the temple. It is such a blessing to have a temple so close. Back home it is a 2 hour drive to the temple. I know many others have much greater journeys to travel to the temple when they are at home. It is a peaceful feeling to know that I can walk to the temple and do work for my ancestors and feel the peace my Heavenly Father gives me.

We also learned about the learning pattern. It was great that the Spirit is the Center and that Prepare, Teach one another,  Ponder and Prove were around that. I liked what one person said in the class. He said that the learning pattern reminded him of the Liahona. It made me think that just like the Liahona we need to be obedient and working hard to be directed.

All in all it was a great day. I know I am meant to be here. I am excited to learn new things.
