List 10 Things You Would Tell Your 16 Year-Old Self 

1. You are a precious daughter of God. Don’t ever forget that.

2. When you start at BYU in the fall as a 16 year-old, you’ll take Intro. to Chemistry in hopes of pursuing a nursing degree. That class will be hard. You will get a B. But don’t give up on yourself so easily. Take it again, or don’t take it again. But don’t throw the whole idea of nursing (and nurse-midwifery) under the bus just because that one class is hard.

3. Take some home economics classes at BYU–cooking, sewing, etc. These skills will come in handy.

4. Be true to yourself and don’t change yourself to make other people happy.

5.  In a year or so, when you’re at BYU, you’ll be accepted to study abroad in London. Go. Your parents will get worried about your safety because of the various wars in the Middle East and will encourage you not to go. Go anyway. You’ll regret it if you don’t.

6. And on that note, nice work getting into BYU! Way to take initiative. Deciding to take the ACT early and apply for early admission to BYU while you were living in Honduras took some guts. I’m proud of you for doing that.

7. Get used to Utah. Turns out, you’ll spend way more time here than you ever thought you would. Like, WAY more time.

8. Take some cash and invest in Apple. Just trust me on this one.

9. You can do hard things. Take some risks and see what happens.

10. Some wonderful things are headed your way. I am so excited for you.
