What year did you graduate from high school? What do you recall about your feelings, emotions, hopes and dreams at this time of your life?

1971, at the age of 17. I was close to the youngest in my class. I think one girl was younger.

I was a bit scared about the future as well as excited for it. I knew I would have a full year in college before I could go on a mission so since Lynn and Leesa were both attending Snow I applied for and received a scholarship to SnowCollege in Ephraim, Utah. It was a small school but highly accredited and had an electronics program which I had decided that I wanted to go into. I knew I would miss MArie terribly but did look forward to dating without fear of judgement. (I did date that year also and I also dodged and ducked from one girl that was chasing me.) It was a good time of my life but one filled with a lot of questions and few answers. The answers did come however and I have enjoyed all of my life with the challenges and activities that I have had and done that never crossed my mind at that time.
