Congratulations to Allison who graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho on April 8. It was great to be there and share in her day. Graduating was a goal that Allison had and held to when it would have been easier to quit. A quote by Theodore Roosevelt comes to mind:"...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without err, and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Graduation was held in the new BYU-I Center.
Big screens on the side helped bring the front of the room closer.
