I remember sitting down with a guidance counselor at Snow College as she showed me how many credits it would take to earn my associates degree. Then she laid out what I needed to do to get my bachelors degree. The amount of credits was amazingly high and I remember thinking "yeah that's never going to happen." And here I am many semesters later with a bachelors degree!
President Hinckley taught:
Find purpose in your life. Choose the things you would like to do, and educate yourselves to be effective in their pursuit. . . . In this day and time, a girl needs an education. She needs the means and skills by which to earn a living. . . .
Study your options. Pray to the Lord earnestly for direction. Then pursue your course with resolution.
The whole gamut of human endeavor is now open to women. There is not anything that you cannot do if you will set your mind to it. You can include in the dream of the woman you would like to be a picture of one qualified to serve society and make a significant contribution to the world of which she will be a part.
