My modern day hero is my wife and my parents! And my wife's parents! They are all such great examples!
It's Brianna again. Sorry, I was slow to respond earlier. I am trying to figure out some homework but I think I got it now! I never got to see your last response. What was it that makes them your hero(s)?
Ahhhhh I see. Cool. I though it was someone new. How's the homework? And yes the last response. They are loving and supportive. They accomplish goal and stand up for values. The world needs more people like them. They also put family first. Like before everything.
The homework is a little boring, but other than that it's not to difficult.
What class is it for?
That's great. Family is so important, and something that gets put off to the side way to often. It's homework for an American Literature class.
That's true. I don't want to get too political or religious on here because it's not really the place, but the family really is the foundation of society. It needs to be strong. Thats a cool class. What are you learning about right now?
Today we are talking about some Walt Whitman poems and some Emily Dickinson poems. What's your favorite class you have taken at BYU?
I like poems. Which one is your favorite that you have read so far? And oh, I really liked Anatomy.
I actually really liked Crossing Brooklyn Ferry that I read for my class today, but I feel like some of the deeper meaning went way over my head. I have taken a few anatomy classes here, and loved them!
Yeah thats how it usually ends up with poems. They can be very hard to understand! Oh cool, what is your major?
Exercise Science. What about you?
Same! Thats funny. What do you want to do after you graduate?
I just applied to physical therapy school.
Oh nice. Have you heard back from any of them yet?
Not really, I just submitted them last week. I should know from a few schools by the end of the month.
Awesome. Well I wish you the best of luck. I'm in the application process right now for dental schools so I know it can be nerveracking.
Good luck to you to. Graduate school applications can be brutal.
Yes they can. Where do you want to go?
That is kind of a complicated question for me. My dream school was Sacramento State in California, but I recently got married and he is applying to med school right now. So now I really just want to go where ever we can both get in together! We are thinking we will end up in Kansas City, Arizona, or Souther California though. Do you know where you want to go?
Yeah that can be tricky. But it' s more important to stay together. School is school but there is only one relationship like that. And thats cool! I'm from Arizona. It's a great place. I want to go to Arizona for dental school and hopefully end up there too. Thats where all the family is. Plus we have a baby so we want him to be able to visit his cousins and grandparents.
I'm also from Arizona! Small world. Being with family would be great! What school in AZ do you want to go to?
It's called Midwestern in Glendale. Yeah Arizona is the best.
That's one of the schools my husband and I applied to!
Wow! Maybe we will end up at the same school! I would ask your name so we could be friends if we got in, but thats against the rules of the chat.
Yeah we shouldn't break the rules, but good luck to you! Maybe we will connect again in AZ.
Maybe. If I meet a Brianna from BYU then I'll ask if she remembers this chat hahaha.
Haha I'll do the same to any Kyles from BYU I happen to meet. Do you ever listen to the BYU Devotionals?
Yeah I do! I didn't go today though. Too much homework and studying. And this haha
I don't usually go, but I am listening to todays for extra credit haha
Oh nice. Is it good? Whats he talking about?
Yeah it is so far. Elder Gong is talking about the benefits of BYU education right now. Like the differences between this university and others.
Cool. I think we go to a great school. The education is really good and it's cheap haha.
Yes! The cost of education is way better than many of my friends who go to state universities. Especially when you have graduate school to pay for later!
Totally. Except graduate schools are wayyyyy more expensive. I wonder why the price is so high in some places and then so low in other places.
I wish I knew! I know private schools are more expensive, but other than that I have no idea. Maybe they are priced based on how desirable it is to live somewhere?
Or just that you'll be able to make more money with a graduate education. So it's like an investment. But still very pricey. However there are some schools that are free now. New York University Med school is tuition free for example.
I have heard of that! I'm pretty sure they only take New York residents though.
Move to New York then haha! Just kidding. New York is crazy expensive just to live in.
You could spend just as much on living expenses in New York as living and going to school somewhere else haha
Very true.
It would probably be really fun to live there for a year or two though.
Have you ever been to New York?
Yes I have. I went with my family in March, as well as when I was in jr. high school.
Awesome. What are your favorite things to do there?
I like just walking around and seeing the city. Times Square is lots of fun to wander through. I also saw a Broadway show while we were there, which was lots of fun. Have you ever been?
No I haven't been. But cool! Which Show did you see?
In March we saw School of Rock, and when I went as a kid we saw Merry Poppins.
Haha how was School of Rock?
Honestly, it was a little weird, but lots of fun. My family isn't big theater people, so we just found a show with cheap tickets haha
Ahhh I see. Hamilton would be fun to see but I'm not willing to pay $500 for tickets
I agree! One of my best friends is really into that show so I know a lot of the music and it's really good! Maybe in 5 years or so when it's not as popular we can go haha
Totally. Supply and Demand is a beautiful thing.
It really is. Have you ever seen any broadway shows?
What about food? Best Food in New York? And now I never have. Not in real life at least.
We went to the Thai food restaurant across from our hotel that was amazing! But I just really love Thai food haha
Thai food is so good! Americans need to learn how to use more flavor.
They really do!
Everything good in our country is just stolen from another country that actually knows what they are doing haha
I need to learn how to make Thai food! I have tried a few times and it hasn't been that great haha
You should look up some recipes on Food Network.
That's a good idea! Well I have to head to my next class now, but it was great to talk to you! Maybe we will happen to meet in AZ one day!
Okay! Good luck!
You too!
