Hey! What's up?
not much, you?
Same here. So what would your answer to the prompt be?
Probably about artificial intelligence and machine learning and how it affects the future of technology I actually gave a small ted talk about it in my writing class Who is your hero?
Woah, that's awesome. And my hero would have to be my grandma. She's amazing.
Oh that is so cute What makes her your hero?
She is kind of a spiritual giant in my opinion. I love hearing her talk about the gospel, and overall she really inspires me to be my best. She has always been a hard worker too.
Wow she sounds amazing
Yeah :) Who is your hero?
I would say my mission president He is aboslutely the most noble and amazing man I have met in my entire life
Wow, that's awesome. Where did you serve?
I served in nebraska
Nice, what was your favorite part about serving there?
I loved my mission president honestly I feel like it is hard to find a good role model in life because people can let you down a lot, but he never let me down He has such an amazing family and such an amazing life story and he is so dedicated to God.
He sounds like a great guy. I know what you mean, it hurts when people let you down. It's awesome that you found such a dependable person. It's good to have a rock like that
Yeah. I will be at his homecoming without doubt I still feel like his misunderstood my honest intentions sometimes but that isn't his fault He hardly got the chance to get to know me He had to look after like 200 men, a portion of which caused him a lot of grief and grey hair
Haha, well I bet you two will be able to become closer when he gets home. And if not then, it sounds like you guys would have a strong connection in the next life
yeah definitely He is a good guy I envy how well his life turned out
Do you think you could have a life like his someday?
yeah I think so A big part of it was his wife though She is so amazing
Haha nice, a power couple
yeah honestly my life is going the same direction his is I am certainly not married though haha
That's great! Even though your not married, it's awesome that your walking down that same path as your hero!
Yeah what about you? How do you want to be like your here? hero?
I want to be as close to the Lord as she is. She is so diligent about reading her scriptures, and being in tune with the spirit. She is also great at comforting and cousneling others. I love learning from her and getting her advice.
Yeah My grandparents are nice but they dont generally give me any advice
Do they live near you?
Kind of The live in southern utah
You could reach out to them sometime with a specific problem and see if they can help ?? If that's what you're looking for
I donj't know I just want to hear something really inspirational that I had never thought of before one of my grand parents isn't really that spiritual when it comes to advice and the other kind of says stuff that is pretty straight forward that I am already doing like reading scriptures, praying, you know like the basic answers to life
Oh I see. Well, maybe you can teach them something :)
maybe] They are really glad that I went to byu and that I am doing something with my education I am excited too My dad and grandpa both graduated with degrees in finance
Cool! are you going to continue that tradition?
Probably not I will probably go into mathematics or science I might do finance but probably the closest thing will be my minor in business
Hey I think its cool to break tradition too
yeah I want to discover something and test my limits besides i think many of the finance positions will be automated withing the next 20 years so it might not be a good permanent profession
Ahh, then it's good that you're going into something else! What year are you in school right now?
my first I am doing acme and finishing my prereqs I will be done with them at the end of next year
Nice nice
what is your major?
Well I'm actually a senior in high school right now, but I'm planning on majoring in photography or early childhood education. I can't decide between the two
oh wow way cool So how did you hear about this then?
I've been getting emails from BYU since I got accepted, and this like was on one hah
Oh wow that is weird Why did they do that? I am a student at byu and I didnt get the email weird
Haha it's probably because I'm an incoming freshman
yeah that makes sense I wonder why they sent it to incoming freshmen but not to existing byu students? Any idea?
Haha Idk, they pitched it as a way to win a free macbook, but I'm guessing they were looking for guinea pigs
yeah probably the guy in first is crazy gtood
Yeah there's no way I could catch up lol He's def getting that macbook
yeah for sure I have given up on the macbook but maybe a set of headphones or somehting just need like 2 million I think
Hahaha yeah that would be nice
I hear they are doing more this next year so this may not be the end You could get another chance
Hahaha oh good! I'll have to be on my game
yeah for sure well you know about it now right?
haha yes, I'll be prepared
what is your favorite thing to eat in the summer?
Haha my favorite thing to eat in the summer would have to be popcorn because it makes me think of going to the drive in with my friends,  watermelon because it's an iconic sum mer food, or cucumbers because they just make me think of the summer I don't know why hahaha
oh i love watermelon especially when it is perfectly ripe ohh it is so delicious
Yesss, are you the kind of person who likes salt on their watermelon?
oh no do you? I like sweet things, but salt is good on ice cream like salted caramel ice cream
I've never tried salted caramel ice cream, but I like dipping fries in my milkshakes haha
hahaha Have you tried ben and jerrys late night snack? It has potato chips in it and it is sooooo good
what the heck potato chips?
yeah but not just any potato chips Chocolate covered potato chips
bleh that sounds so weird hahah ;)
you have to try it I think they stopped selling it but it was soooo good think chocolate covered pretzels it was like the same thing in fact it probably would have been more well accepted if it were pretzels
oooooh ok, yeah I like chocolate covered pretzels
yeah see that isnt that bad
