When I turned twenty one I was just starting school at BYU (Brigham Young University). My plan was to live at home and spare the expense of living away. This, I thought, would allow me to put the money I would have spent on rent toward a car. To me this sounded logical and reasonable, but this way of thinking went contrary to the way my dad thought about things. He was very old-school and counseled me to stay out of debt for anything other than a home. I considered what he said and then decided to buy the car anyway.

A Letter To My Daughter Upon Starting Her First Year of College...
Dear Daughter,
I know you have heard this before, but here is a link to the story about my first week away from home when I went to Rick's College (now known as BYU Idaho). Read it some time, if you want, when you are absolutely bored (My First Week of College).
I won't lie to you. What you are doing is really hard and will test both your resolve and your abilities. May I share with you some of the things I learned as I blundered my way through college?
