In five years, sophomore Yalaina Linford sees herself attending BYU and working towards becoming an elementary school teacher, as well as a seminary teacher. Yalaina’s doesn’t have a favorite subject because she loves learning.
Her favorite quote is, "All that we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." – Gandalf. She likes that quote because it brings out the fact that we can’t always choose our circumstances, but we can choose our attitudes and actions.
