                For my final blog post I would like to talk about my beginnings in the  Construction Management program here at BYU.

                My journey to decide my major was long and arduous. I started my collegiate career thinking I would like to become a doctor. My father-in-law is a very successful general surgeon and his influence steered me in that direction. Once I realized that the sciences were not my strong point, I changed to studying accounting. I have always really enjoyed math and I thought that would translate to the accounting field. I was wrong. After speaking with my brother-in-law, a CPA, I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to be an accountant.

                At that point, I received my Associates in Arts degree and had been accepted to BYU. When I got here I changed my major to Civil Engineering. I thoroughly enjoyed my courses and my professors. But one math test single handedly pushed me away. I remember studying 20+ hours for a Calculus 2 test. As I walked out of the testing center and saw that I had received a failing grade I decided to switch to Construction Management.
