And so I just think along with signing up for your college classes and doing all these things, I also think it would be super helpful to have information on what you could do if something bad happened and prepare for the worst.

Growing up, my whole family went to BYU, which is an LDS school here in Provo, Utah.

UVU was sort of the closest thing to BYU without the grades and the test scores that you had to get into BYU.

And it was always seen as a little bit easier.

I knew I didn't really want to go to BYU because I didn't want to be super in that scene.

I had a lot of friends who were at both UVU and BYU.

I would say I was a very social person.

Even when I wasn't living down here in Orem, I was down here every weekend hanging out with friends and doing things.

Yeah, most people down here are LDS.

And those who aren't, they all know about LDS, about the values and the culture here.

I think there was a lot of people who were not

making choices that aligned with the LDS faith.

I had gone to a lot of parties with student athletes, both of UVU and BYU, where they were drinking and they were doing things that the LDS faith doesn't really condone.

I think, especially if you grew up LDS, everyone has a time in their life where they find their faith or they find that they don't believe in a higher power or whatever it is.

Everyone's just trying to figure out what they believe in.

And being a young adult, they're trying to figure out their interests.

They're away from home for the first time and they're trying to figure out who they are.

When I went into college, I kind of went back and forth with my major and what I wanted to do.

Eventually, I landed on media, public relations, and I wanted to actually do sports media to either be a sports announcer or be PR behind a sports team.

We have a couple of sports teams here in Utah, but I was willing to move.
