which may sound like something that's not a big deal, but it's very different for me.

I wore a BYU hat to drop off my granddaughter at school today and the only thing I heard was, "I like your hat" from a little kid.

At the same dropoff spot for kindergarten back in August, a teacher's aid told a guy wearing a BYU shirt to "Get that shirt out of here."

I know those are isolated events, but I'm eager to be hopeful for positive change.
