When I sit down and think about my journey with education, I can go back through my life and see miracles from God every step of ay.
Miracle 1: High school graduation
Like I said, growing up, I did not have a good relationship with school. In high school, I kept failing a test I needed to pass in order to graduate. I didn鈥檛 feel smart, and I lost any self-esteem I had.

It was a miracle; I know God helped me to do well on the test.
Miracle 2: Gaining self-esteem
BYU-Pathway has helped me to continue my success story with school because it taught me, 鈥淵ou know, you can do this, and you know that God is more than willing to help you in any way possible.鈥

Miracle 3: Support from friends, family, and God
God has had a huge impact in my life, and religion courses have helped me to grow closer to Him. Starting to not only read the scriptures, but to understand them, has really helped me to feel God's support.
The friends I鈥檝e made at BYU-Pathway have also been a huge support for me. In one of my courses, I worked on a project with a group of classmates. They walked me through the whole thing, and it really put my mind at ease.
Get support from your family, your friends, your church, whoever. They will help you accomplish things you couldn鈥檛 do on your own.
