“More than 30 years after I had left school to take care of our growing family, I made the decision to go back to college at the age of 52. My husband and children were very supportive, but it was a hard decision and a very challenging process. There were many times when I wondered why I was taking on so much work and expending so much effort, but I have since realized that there were two important but unexpected reasons for me to complete that degree…
"When I restarted my degree in 2003, I was able to fulfill the majority of my educational requirements through online classes in addition to some in a classroom. I felt impressed to study English literature. With that particular major, I had to take several writing classes and wrote what seemed like endless analytical and expository essays. I remember thinking, “Why did I choose a major that requires so much writing?” It didn’t come easily to me! As I progressed through my degree, I found that I was getting better and better at writing papers—at capturing my thoughts and expressing them clearly. Writing that much and that often expanded my ability to think, analyze, and effectively articulate my thoughts and feelings.
"What I wasn’t aware of at the time, but I am certain the Lord knew, was that four years after I finally graduated with a bachelor’s degree, I was called to be the Young Women General President for the Church. Suddenly, I was expected to write a lot—including talks for general conference, Church magazine articles, and opinions on proposals and programs.
"I could never have foreseen how the skills I was learning as I worked on my degree would be needed and used daily and be such an unexpected but tremendous blessing to me a few short years down the road. Though I was not sure of all the reasons for going back to school, the Lord knew I would need the skills I learned in earning that degree to make me of greater service in the kingdom.”

"When I was on my mission, I had a companion recommend BYU-Pathway to me because of its low cost. When I got home, I saw I could pay in full for my 1st semester before I even had a job!
"The first semester helped me get acclimated to college life because it helped build habits without the distraction of challenging school work. I had a wonderful mentor who'd call every so often to help me in this regard. The 2nd semester was all online, including the gatherings, because of the coronavirus pandemic and I was surprised by how much I missed going to the face-to-face gatherings.
"The final semester was extremely rewarding for me because I got to learn skills in a field of my choice. I'm very thankful for my time in BYU-Pathway & I would highly recommend it to everyone—just like how my companion recommended it to me!"
