1. When I first came to BYU I was convinced that I wanted to major in Political Science. Then I was convinced that I wanted to do biology, and then special ed, and the list goes on and on. It got to the point that Brandon would ask me, "So what's your major this week?" He was joking, but it was quite true! I was so excited when I got to college that I just couldn't settle on one particular major. Some of the classes I have taken persuaded me one way or another. When I thought that I wanted to do biology I took PDBIO 120, and that class was way too hard for me! That major exposed me to a career path that I learned I did not want to follow. My first semester I took a Career Exploration class, and that was really useful to me. Through taking the different personality tests my eyes were opened to different possibilities. Another favorite class was Intro to International Relations. I was convinced that I wanted to be a diplomat. In the end though, I went with English, which is one of my first loves. :)
2. I giggled a little bit when I heard the myth, "When I find my calling, work will be bliss." That is just not true. Life is hard, even if you are doing something that you love. You can control your surroundings (for the most part) but you cannot control those around you. I think that when you find something you love you will be happy, but life will not be perfect. I think that we can find joy in the hard troubles though. I know that when I accomplish something really difficult, I feel a sense of joy that I can't get from anything else. We can find happiness in hard work.
