This is from like a couple years ago, probably, but whatevs.

My sister said something to one of my other sisters on the phone a bit ago that I just overheard. She is going to school at Utah State, and it’s been hard for her to be away. She feels like she doesn’t have any friends, like she doesn’t connect very well with her roommates, and she has a hard time at church because she has no one to sit with. So, when she called up on the phone, she was crying.

Katy had the phone on speaker so all of us sisters could hear and chime in with advice.

I remember something Katy said. She told my sister, “Hold your head high.”

Katy told her to hold her head high, be proud of who she is and what she stands for, and to hold her head high at church, school, everywhere.

I felt like those four words have changed me. I think about it each day, especially when I’m at school. I want to follow that advice also; to be proud of who I am, and what I stand for.
