I approach life with a 'jump' sort of mentality, although I wasn't raised to take crazy risks. I was raised to be a crazy hard worker. It seems to be a pretty good match of qualities.

What's unique about the Mormon Church is that it encourages inquiry. I really do think my research and religion are all on the same page.
