College Bound Kyle


Kyle found out that he has been accepted to the U of U College of Science- Biology Major. He is not sure if he will go for a semester before his mission or wait till after. Hopefully the scholarships will help make the decision easier. We will know about those this spring. His plan is to get a BS in Biology while being a member of the Ute's cycling team and a member of the LDS faternity. He has found some student research positions and internships that he would like to apply for as well. The research in the RNAi (he can tell you about that it has to do with genetics, which the U is famous for) and other genetic or microbiology areas is where he would like to help with. He then plans to get a master's in either microbiology or molecular biology and continue researching cures for the future. I think we will have another DR. Rowbotham in the future :) Though according so some, his will be "real research" not "just educational research" Whatever, if these smart scientists can't teach then their knowledge goes to waste. So I will help them learn how to teach better. :) We are having fun watch him be so excited about school and what he is learning in his science research course he is taking this year. He really does understand it and does a great job explaining it to us. His enthusiasm is contagious. We are so excited for our kids.

Heather is loving the music therapy program at UT state. Though she feels she is a little behind since Maryville focused more on the performance were as UT state has done more with the Therapy aspect. Trevor is finishing up with his MBA and can't wait to be done :) He is enjoying his classes and learning how to use excel better but so ready to be done (June is not that far away). He will actually get to walk at the May graduation but finishes up with a 6 week course after. They love their apartment, ward and being with Trevor's friends. Heather is amazed at how many people know him. She was introducing herself in class today and one of the girls said "Oh you're Trevor's wife." (that sounds so weird to me, in a good way. Its hard to think she is a wife and grown up) :) The girl works with Trevor at his typing for the hearing impaired job.

Congratulations, Kyle. There's nothing more impressive than a man with a plan.
