Brian gave the opening prayer in class on Wednesday, and in it he expressed gratitude for the sacrifices Dr. Holzapfel made to teach us. This spurred Dr. Holzapfel to briefly mention how so many of the teachers here sacrifice to be at byu because they want to be BYU. Many other colleges offer higher salaries, focus more on research instead of teaching, and offer more secular pristege (though not by much most of the time.) Here at BYU, most o... Read More
