Graduation













I finished school in December and I walked this last week for graduation. It was a lot of fun. Cute Rusty was there to support me and it was so cute to see how proud he was. The main speaker was Mario Capecchi. In his speech he challenges the student to think of way they can change the world. I want to change the world by helping teenage girls understand their self worth. Yesterday was the birthday of my dear friend Melea who commited suicide right after her 19th birthday. Yesterday would have been her 22nd birthday. I loved that girl to peices. She definatly suffered inside, but she was who I called or wanted to talk to when I needed to smile. I want to help girls know they are important and loved. Melea knew she was loved, but I dont think she thought she was important.

I got my degree from the University of Utah in Speech Communication with and emphasis in Organizational Comm and a minor in business. Yeah for me!

I appriciated those who came out support me: Rusty, my brothers and sister, parents and grandparents
