Education in Zion

My favorite part of this exhibit was titled "From Academy to University." This section was all about the origins of BYU as an institution and the people who were key components in making it the success that it is today. It highlighted the time and energy and true sacrifice required to establish BYU. Featured people included Maeser, Brimhall, & Heber J. Grant, among many others who also worked hard to build up this cause.

I really liked this part of the exhibit because it made me really think about how hard it was, all the effort people put in to this, so that students could myself could get a quality education. I have always sort of taken my schooling for granted and reading these things got my attention, and I realized that I should be grateful for how easy I have it, and take full advantage of all these opportunities I have available to me! Within this section, I particularly liked the display on Florence Madsen Jepperson because of all her efforts towards BYU's music program. I always sort of took for granted the things that were already established before me and never fully appreciated how hard people worked to set up these programs and institutions for the benefit of others. I think we need to remember the efforts of these people and be grateful for what they have done for us, giving us the opportunity to be here today and gain some of the best education possible.
