I was reading from this months Ensign and found an article that really got to me. I am in my junior year at Weber State University and am struggling with the many things on my plate. I know that Bryant has felt overwhelmed with my schedule at times too.
Today I read an article written by Michael Morris from the Church Magazines about a group of tutors in Washington D.C. One of the two passages that hit was "Intellectual development is a key to spiritual development..." I hadn't thought of it this way but it help me come to terms with why my education is so important to me. I have been fighting for it but my reasons seemed hollow. Now it makes better sense why I feel such a passion to grow intellectually.
Also at the end of the article it quotes President Hinckley, "Education is the key which will unlock the door of opportunity, and the Lord has laid upon you the responsibility to secure an education." I feel this so strongly. I love learning! Yes, at times it is overwhelming and tiring but the benefits far out weigh any negatives. I know that I will not only gain worldly knowledge by continuing my education but that what I learn here in this life will follow me to the next.

I absolutely and totally agree with this. If you let you mind go numb with no thought or progress, it just leads down regretful paths! Keep it up! Man, I hope to go back someday!
