Why When I Was a Grandma, I Walked 5 Miles Through the Sunshine to Go To School


BYU Education Week Day Four


 This is the tree of knowledge that I lay under today.

I didn't know it was a tree of knowledge when I chose it, but it turned out to be a pretty smart tree to lay under.  I learned you can probably learn as much laying under a tree for an hour as you can sitting in class for an hour, especially if the class turns out to be taught by a skinny old bald guy who sounds exactly like Will Ferrell.  Will Ferrell just doesn't have any credibility when it comes to discussing religion.  





And then I saw this little lady
She was hunched over, 
carrying her orange, 
wearing tennis shoes 
and carrying a backpack full of books.

That's the kind of lifetime learner I want to be

I asked her if I could take her picture
because I thought she embodied the 
spirit of BYU Education Week

She said "okay" but when I asked her to turn her head
she said, "Huh!  Hollywood."
I said "thank you"

I bet she found a tree to sit under and ate her orange.
