Alumni Memories

Matthew Felt——1997
My BYU Memories

• Being turned away from a Frosh dance in the WILK ballroom because my shorts weren’'t long enough, feeling astonished since they were about 1/8 inch too short and I just hadn’t pulled them down like all the others around me.
• Spending time watching TV in the Education LRC.
• Buying sandwiches from the vending machines in the McKay Building. Finding the goldmine of a restroom on the second floor of the McKay Building.
• So few men in the building meant it was pretty much professors and me using that restroom and usually meant a copy of USA Today was there as well.
• Foolishly thinking that my 3.8ish GPA in a spring term would get me on the Dean’s List.
• Making it through three years of the elementary education program with no dates in the program.
• Children’s literature course in a spring term was murder on my time but probably my favorite elementary education class.
• Producing a video in the education lab for my instructional technology class.
• Vacuuming hair from the backseat of my car weekly during student teaching. Provo to Midvale daily seemed to mean it was okay to do hair in the car.
• Graduating and not finding a teaching position in at least 20 interviews. Very frustrating but it turns out to have been a huge blessing to me. My degree led me to my current tech career. I look back fondly on my time at BYU and hope I can someday teach.
