C.S. Lewis

Alright, so for our final exam we are working on a project that relates to disciple scholarship (but of course). So our group picked C.S. Lewis. We've decided on a few different service projects that we can be doing, which I think will be a lot of fun! I think this is a really good project because it will help us apply what we have been learning about all semester to real life. I think I will be able to see how these people represent a disciple scholar and what types of things they've been doing, like service projects, or influential things they've produced. This will be especially cool just because they've had a big impact on the whole world, not just the few people close to them. Which is still cool and I guess just as rewarding. It will also be neat to see the other groups pick for a disciple scholar and the reasons they chose them. I'm actually pretty excited about this. And it doesn't hurt that we don't have to take an actual test! :D

Gratzi...

While being here at BYU I've learned a few things. For one, there are a lot of LDS people here. Haha. No but really, I have learned that it takes a lot of hard work and commitment to get the results you want to in college. A disciple scholar is someone who works hard and keeps commitment while at the same time is learning the non-secular thigns as well. I think this pretty much sums up my life while being here. Any class you take here can be related back to the gospel in some way. Like my humanities class, it's ridiculous the presence of religion impacted people's lives in history. But it's not just relating the secular with the non secular, it's also just focusing on the nonsecular. Like going to church, and meetings, and firesides and waht not. Being committed to that too. Right now I've been committed to studying for my humanities test every tues. and thurs. with the help of my big sis MEGHAN MARIE! She's awesome for helping me out so much. I know she gives up a lot of time helping me out when she could be doing things for herself or spending time with her hubby DEVIN LEE. She's a disciple scholar too, and such a great example. I don't know what I would do without her up here leading the way. She's pretty much set the path I should follow. Maybe not follow, but make reference to once in a while when I'm in a tough spot. So thanks to her for making me see what a disciple scholar is as well. Hopefully all this will pay off after the humanities test on monday! :D We shall see. Happy day to you all. BYE!

disciple scholar

alrighty, so tonight we had this amazing aesthetic night of beauty thing for humanities. I really enjoyed it. I thought i wasn't going to like it and it was going to be boring, but it turned out way way good! So anyway, for this night Me and Christie and Lyndsey performed "Come Thou Fount" on our violins. It was super cool. Especially since i haven't played for practically 4 years. Anyway, i thought this made me a better disciple scholar because it made me be open to things i am not usually willing to do. It allowed me to share my talents with others and just spread the joy that comes from music. Also, it was an opportunity to just bear testimony in song, and i think a part of being a disciple scholar is using your abilities to speak of the lord, and praise  him as well. It was just an all around good time. It was also good to watch other people share their talents and insights. I think being on the opposite end of the spectrum gave me a different way to view learning and accepting others. It was happy times.
