Day two; how have you changed in the past two years?

Wow, lets see..these past two years have been crazy. Two years ago I would have been in the middle of my junior year, just about to have my major back surgery which definitely changed my life. Through that experience I learned that I have a pretty hight pain tolerance and that even though missing the rest of the school year sounded fun, it wasn't. I was bored out of my mind during those last two months of my junior year. I also had to learn a lot of patience because of that surgery. The summer after my junior year I met my very best friend, Austin Gleed. He has been such a blessing in my life. We have been through a lot together and I have learned how to love and trust others. I'd say we make a good team. Just this last summer i graduated from Lehi High School. It all came way to fast, I feel so old. In these past two years I have realized how important the Gospel of Jesus Christ really is to me and to always stick to my standards and not give in to temptation. Growing up an moving away from home was also a huge change in my life. I definitely had to learn how to be independent and responsible. I have also realized how important my family to me and how much I love them. I was so ready to be out on my own but I sure do miss my mom's cooking, my dad's kisses, my brother's jokes, and sleepovers with my sisters. I have learned to cherish every moment and don't take anything in life for granted. Love with all of my heart and live day to day with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life who have helped shaped who I am today. (:
