Why I chose Utah Tech: "I chose Utah Tech because ever since I was in high school. My friends and I would always go trailer parking in Utah and we got to visit all the national parks. It was one of my favorite memories. When I was playing softball, I played in a tournament in Utah and I always thought it was so pretty. I just feel like out of all the schools that I had to chose from and  would have the best time and it was way cheaper than any other school."
