Go to School

"Take advantage of every opportunity that you have because the Lord has laid upon you a mandate through revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith concerning not only spiritual learning but secular learning. Yours is the responsibility, and you can’t afford to waste your time. There is so much to learn. Be smart. Give it the very best that you have." - President Gordon B. Hinckley. 

When I was first married, I knew I wanted to be a mom and a "stay at home mom" (I'll talk about why I dispise the term "stay at home" later). I also didn't know I wanted to even be a mom until I was married but that's another story. 

So, I'm a young newlywed. I'm thrust into the social circles of my very ambitious and educated husband. During these (intimidating) social gatherings, naturally upon inquisition and casual discussion, the subject evolves to what everyone's career and educational goals revolve around. 

"no child of our father in heaven can afford in all conscience to ignore the responsibility of learning about the world and dealing with it." Sister Karen Lynn- Director of Honors, BYU.
