Dissenter Walk-on

I have a friend, he got into Harvard AND Juliard, went to BYU-Idaho because he got an answer. NOW THAT'S FAITH
A girl I dated turned down a full-ride to Yale to go to BYU for the same reason.

She was following a boyfriend. Wherever he went, she went.

People often don't go to the best school they get into. Not unusual.

1. She was less intimidated by BYUI; 2. She wanted smaller classes; 3. Both.

A couple of reasons: 1 - she followed her boyfriend; 2 - BYU didn't have her

She is a HCBW... so doesn't matter. Looks are all that matter.

She never planned on having a career, so she chose the cheaper and easier route.

Bravescoug

11/25/15 6:57pm
