Nope

I'm not cut out for college at BYU-Idaho.

My whole life, I have received great grades. I have done all the homework asked of me, and teachers have loved me for that. BYU-I is different. They aren't here to teach you how to memorize facts and repeat them back like in high school. The teachers here actually put stuff into your brain. They actually want you to learn, to become an intellect, to grow in that way instead of wanting you to just be able to spit out memorized facts. My whole life has been focused on memorization.

I don't know how to learn. I haven't been taught how to learn. I've been taught how to remember things for a test and then to forget them and move on.

I'm not cut out for BYU-Idaho.
