Trying to Find a Way Down the Road We Don't Know

I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they could fly anywhere on the earth. 
   ...And then I ask myself the same question.

Last week I had the wonderful and fun opportunity to shadow a student at BYU for a day. It was the best ever! The girl I shadowed was just the sweetest, very helpful, and we got along really well. Her name is Kenzie and she is going into nursing. After taking a campus tour, I went to her Book of Mormon class and was really impressed with the professor. He was really old but fun. Beyond other reasons, you know he's old because he used the following word choices: "Pardon me, I have the snifflers and need a hanky." If only I could remember his name so I could sign up for him when I'm in college.... but I liked the environment right away.(: The biggest change will probably be the class sizes, and actually having to wait a long time to be called on...hah. I guess I've been spoiled with classes that are more like small discussion groups. After B.O.M. we went to the campus devotional/forum which was really cool! I think it's great that they have such inspiring speakers every week and if I'm at BYU, I'll definitely go to it every time. I also spent a lot of time in the Richards Building just because I dance there so often it's kind of my second home...so I felt comfortable there. haha And I discovered I know more people on campus than I thought I knew. 'Twas a very good time.
 Being on campus for a day, and feeling like a legitimate college student definitely forced me to think about what I want for my future...and importantly, how I'm going to get there. 
3 questions:
Who am I?
What was I born to do?
And what is stopping me?

I've said it since I was little- "I am a child of God."And I say it every week- "We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us, and we love Him..." Knowing my identity and divine potential is a great comfort while I try to figure out what I should be doing with my life. It helps me keep the perspective that college is only a small goal on the way to a more important eternal goal. 
I was born to... Well a simple answer for all of us is to serve others and love God. We were born to achieve our full potential and we can only do this by exact obedience and putting our full effort into our righteous and ambitious goals. 
So what stops me from achieving my goals? Laziness. Sometimes I just don't have enough drive. But I need to realize what's really important and step up and get to it.
