University 101

Just a quick preface...My University 101 teacher asked our class to blog about the things happening in the class, or things we do in the class as far as assignments and projects and what not. I guess that's what this blog will be filled with. Maybe more, maybe not. I'm still undecided. 
So I just got done annotating the article we were supposed to read for university 101. It was by Henry B. Eyrings, and it was called "A Child of God." It really got me to thinking about my education and how important it should be to me because of how important it is to my Heavenly Father. One part in particular made me think about something I've been taught from the time i was born. You see, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we believe in present day revelation by prophets called and chosen by God. So, you see, this is something I've known all my life, but it didn't really hit me that I was being taught by the man who knows all, the man who created all things, and is most powerful and knowing. ME PERSONALLY!? Being taught by such a powerful and learned man? So cool! It made me wonder how excited I would be if I was told that I was being taught here at BYU by the most knowledgeable professor there ever was. A professor that knew things no one else knew, someone who knew his subject like the back of his hand. To me, that would just be the coolest thing ever! Anyways, that was just one thing that really stuck out to me in the reading. I loved it. I'm glad we had to annotate it instead of just reading it. I gained so much more from it by actually thinking about what I was reading, and trying to come up with something deeper than what was just on paper. Well, I guess that's all for now, until I think of some more. BUH BIA NOW!
