Reading your blog, you reminded me that what you can benefit being in school is it allows you to choose what you would like to do and even with academic class, those open up your mind. I'll take my time to graduate. Thank you!<BR/>and yes, congratulations for graduating, and your baby!<BR/><BR/>ps- My boyfriend just got in Disney animation studios. You might get to meet him.

I guess if I were you I'd just say, "All right - I'm good enough." But look at you... always improving still. You're the man, Sam.S.T.

I should be doing more "Rants of the week" now that I'm done with school.<BR/><BR/>Nathan: Tom is making me do a workshop soon, and I'll make sure you're invited.<BR/><BR/>Sara: BYU is really hard to get into for people who were born and raised in Utah, but easier for everyone else. The nicest thing about BYU is that it's got a competitive education with some of the better schools, but the tuition is really low in comparison.Sam Nielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202942576576063110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19724155.post-74132504632431543482008-01-27T09:58:00.000-08:002008-01-27T09:58:00.000-08:00"Talent means energy and persistence, and nothing ...<I>"Talent means energy and persistence, and nothing more." - Quote from Heinrich Schliemann.</I><BR/><BR/>but I'm pretty sure there ARE great talent in u, and what scares me most is u keep DIGGING it, PUSHING yourself to the limit, INSPIRING the rest.<BR/><BR/>With all your hardwork, you totally deserve the honor.
