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.
