Life is continuously changing no matter if we are ready for it or not. Today we packed up our car with all of Kara's belongings and drove her from California to Utah. She will now be calling BYU home for the next three years as she studies to become an accountant. This was a long road traveled for Kara to get to where she is today. On her road to get here she experienced rejection - she was not accepted the first time forcing her to attend BYU Idaho for a year, frustration, in her mind failure, determination, hard work, belief in herself and then success. It was a journey though difficult gave her the strength she needed to achieve her goal.
As a mom it was difficult to watch my child have to go through a difficult trial but I am grateful for this experience. It not only made Kara dig deep to decide what she really wanted but it brought us closer together. She is not only my child but through it all she became my friend. I'm sad that she will be away from home but am so happy that she is getting her education at the school she so desperately wanted to attend. And for that I am grateful.
