5 years ago I was preparing to graduate High School, deciding on where I wanted to go to college. I applied to schools only in southern states – Alabama, Kentucky, and Mississippi.

How I chose to do a DTS
I am a pretty traditional person. I like to follow the rules and stick within the crowd. Throughout high school, I was set on going to a 4-year college. I thought I wanted to be like everyone else & follow the “traditional” path of life. Year after year my Heavenly Father reminded me that my…
