It's official, I graduated!

After an amazing journey I am now officially a Brigham Young University graduate! What an amazing ride it has been! After 2 yrs at UVSC then transferring, then another 2 yrs at BYU, I did it! I am really quite proud of myself. For a kid who performed the way I did (or didn't) in high school, the goal of graduating from BYU should have been impossible. I worked hard and played hard, and it payed off.

My education changed my life and the way I view the world. I think one of the most important things I will take from school is the knowledge that I can make a difference. I can impact people and the world around me. I hope I am always engaged in something bigger than myself.

Brazil 2006

I just went to Brazil.
It rocked!

We (The Kaiizen Foundation) are sponsoring 8 incredible kids, out of their poverty situations and into the private school system in Sao Luiz do Quitunde, Alagoas, Brazil. This gives them the proper preparations for the University entrance exam. It is a very difficult exam. Our hope is that these 8 will have a chance to get out of the rut and cycle of poverty they are in, and change the course of their families.
