Because of serving a local humanitarian mission and also helping my family through the time that my dad had cancer that eventually took his life, I have the ability to adapt to new situations, I have compassion for those in need of help and/or support, the ability to forgive offenses and offenders, and along with many other traits, I also have faith that hard work produces results. I am also very teachable and have the desire to work very hard.
I am a also citizen of both Canada and the United States with the proper permissions to work in either country should opportunities present themselves and I also have a driver's license. Besides my mom and I, I also have a 26 year old brother who teaches Accounting courses at a local vocational school and I have a dog named Frodo that lives with my mom and I while my brother lives a few minutes away.
My hope is to finish the Pathway program and go on to get additional education through BYU-Idaho Online.
Reply Post # 1: Well, doing Pathway is more a way for me to add on to my education than continue it, as I already have a diploma in Communication Arts: Print Journalism that I received in 2007 and have utilized over the last 10 years to do various articles for various newspapers. I had originally thought about upgrading my education in that area, but my finances are such that I couldn't afford to do that. I would be more than happy to share the link to my journalism portfolio with the class if anyone's interested. As far as my education through BYU-Idaho goes once I finish Pathway, however, I would like to do something from the Home and Family Studies area, as that is offered online and I have the personality for it. I also love helping others to learn how to help themselves in a way that they feel they are being a productive member of society.
Reply Post # 2: Hi Zackary,
I was born in High River, Alberta, Canada on November 23, 1987 and I currently live in Lethbridge, as it is easier to live here so I don't have to go to a great deal of trouble to get to my Pathways gatherings each week, especially when the weather is not good for highway travel. That is cool about your grandfather and what you may not know is that I served a mission from March 2013 to March 2014 at the Bishop's Storehouse in Lethbridge, Alberta, which is part of the Canada Calgary Mission, so I consider myself an alumni of that particular mission. When I was in college, I found out from my American-born mother that I was eligible for dual citizenship, so I quickly applied for it so that I would have more options open to me and it was very little trouble for me to obtain it.
Questions: I am happy to report that I was able to locate the Q&A board in a timely manner and since asking questions is encouraged here, I was wondering if the quizzes at the end of each preparatory lesson were open book quizzes? The quizzes were all open book last semester and if they are also that way this semester, that's great. However, if the quizzes are not all open book, are we going to be told ahead of time so we can study properly?
I feel confident in my ability to succeed this semester as long as I commit to working hard on everything that needs to be done and actually stick to that commitment even if life becomes crazy. When I began Pathways back in September, I promised myself that I would do my best in all that was asked of me and be sure to maintain a optimistic attitude throughout the course. I am excited to learn things about English that I don't already know and I am excited to see how deep my creativity can really go with the help of what the course has to teach me.
I think it is too early for me to have concerns about this course, as it only just started and I have not faced any of the assignments yet. I am sure that questions and challenges will eventually manifest themselves, but I know that when they do, I will have the help of many caring individuals to get through the course successfully. I am excited to learn much from this course.
