Many think that to experience a vast spectrum of cultures one must travel out of Utah and go to either New York or......somewhere else diverse, BUT you need travel no further. Here at LDS Business College we represent them ALL......but the great thing about it here is that ours are all Mormon and sadly naive.
Below is Rosa (I changed her name to save her identity) She is from Mexico (yes she looks white) and has a thick accent, naive nature, and a LOT to say. Last week we were honored by her investigative discussion with our Institute professor on:
- WHAT is circumcision
- WHERE did it come from
- HOW is it done
- DOES it hurt
- IF we maintain that same "bizarre" practice today.
Today was another such treat. In our Public Speaking class we were each asked to bring a quote to discuss. She forgot about the assignment and ran hurriedly to the library, in the middle of class, to grab one from the internet. Just as she came back in it was her turn to share. Now remember NAIVE, NOT AMERICAN, and.....well naive again.
As she finished her quote with confidence everyone starred at each other with need of explanation. It was silent. A few girls even looked abused. As she sat down L'Angel (yes her parents wanted to name her LITTLE ANGEL, but thought that too weird......) leaned over and said, "Now honey, do you know that those words you were saying are cuss words?" Rosa's response, "Cuss, what is a cuss?" The video below is the moment in which the reality of the situation set in.
NEVER a dull moment here at the LDSBC!
(My face looks really fat in the last frame. Marriage is not THAT bad of a diet plan. I promise.)

Greg, I must agree, Megs is the Dealer. Although I am not familiar with your latest obsession which leads me to believe, once again, that the five of us dreadfully need to hang out.----Poor Rosa, maybe the world needs to travel to Utah to get experience and learn what "the bubble" really means!
