When I discovered that I wanted to be a doctor, I had already completed a five-year engineering degree at BYU. I had started my Master’s degree in management, and it was already a month into the first semester of it. But I knew I would need to hustle and get going on a year and a half of pre-medical classes. So going on faith, I went and visited both the Chemistry 101 and Biology 100 instructors. I told them I was going to join their classes, even though it was a month into the semester. “No, you’re not”, they said. “Yes, I am”, I answered. We went back and forth like this for a couple minutes, and they both protested because they had already had three quizzes and a major exam. “Look”, I said, “How about we go forward, and whatever personal average I accrue on my work, give me that same average grade on the missed quizzes and test”. They both bought into it. I hurried down to the administration building and dropped all my Master’s classes. It was one of the scariest things I have ever done. But with intense work, pray and the Lord’s help, I did fine. At the semester end, I was ranked second out of 200 chemistry students in my class.
LESSON LEARNED: Miracles continue to happen today, and they can be on a very personal level. When we team with the Lord and ask in faith, keeping His commandments along the way, miracles can happen.
FEEDBACK: HAVE YOU EVER DONE SOMETHING SO SCARY THAT IT REQUIRED INTENSE FAITH AND COURAGE, AND THEN SAW YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED?
