Why am I graduating?

Sure, I’ve been tempted to put it off, but I’m not leaving UVU without my diploma in hand. The future could take me in any number of directions. But no matter which path I take, I’ll be better off with a completed degree.

Confidence

Knowing I’m capable of doing anything I want. I can set a goal and accomplish it. I can do hard things. For me, higher education isn’t just a road to a career; it’s a way to establish lasting confidence in myself.

Knowledge

Education isn’t just a means to an end — it has intrinsic value all by itself. Knowledge is power. I can make better sense of the world around me, make better decisions and be an example to my friends and family.

Opportunity

Doors are opened when a woman has a degree. I can pursue better options in my career, education, civic interests and personal life.
