Post 15: Other Things That I've Learned at BYU

I know that I've already written about what I have learned at BYU, but I forgot to mention something. BYU has helped me become a better person overall. I have learned about the true definition of unconditional love. I've always heard about it in church, but I have never really had to put it into practice. Everyone that I was around at home I liked, so I was rarely mad at them. When I got to BYU, I realized that my personality and other certain personalities did not get along. However, I can not be mad at someone just because of who they are. They are children of God just like I am. In the big picture, they are no different from me. I had to learn to accept that these people had their own reasons for doing certain things, and I had to be okay with that. No matter what people do, we still need to love them. God loves all of his kids equally, so why do we favor some people more than others? If we truly want to become Christ like, we need to show unconditional love towards everyone. I am grateful that I learned this before my mission so that I can put it into practice with my companions and those I teach.
