Post Introduction Lesson

Goals:
*I would like to earn a passing grade in this course and a very good grade in a math course would certainly be considered a bonus and reward of very hard work. I am going to merely pray a lot, work very hard, and do my best in this course.

*I am hoping to get through the next week simply by taking my time to do the work and also make a lesson plan that is both easy for me to teach and easy for others to understand.

Discussion Board
Initial Post: My name is Heather Cameron, I am 28 years old, and I live in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, but I also carry dual citizenship in the United States because my mother was born in Spokane, Washington. Besides being in Pathways, I write, make videos for YouTube, do things for theatre and/or acting, do photography, shop, and do a lot of physical activity. I have to confess that I am not a great big fan of math and the learning disability I have, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder (which is similar to Asperger's), makes me take a lot more time to do things than others probably would need. I have had several callings in church thus far such as greeter/bulletin maker, CTR 4 teacher, three times in the Nursery, and Library Assistant. I am eager to learn and to get to know all of you. After Pathways, I hope to go on and get some sort of certification in the Administrative Assistant program through BYU-Idaho online. It is very nice to meet all of you lovely people.

*Hi there, Sister Hansen!

Thank you for your kind words, first of all. Secondly, my most recent major purchase was a TV/VCR combo that I bought from Walmart because my old TV/VCR combo was not working well anymore. I am generally very frugal with my money, so much to the point that my own mother refers to me as a miser. If I end up needing something or needing to travel, somewhere, however, I work out how much I will need and manage money quite well wherever I am going. Money is quite an interesting concept, especially as you get older and your financial needs change.

*Hi there, Aaron,

I found out I could get dual citizenship back when I was in college for the first time and I decided to do it, as I didn't know if I would need it in the future. Once I had the money for it, I convinced my mom to take me up to Calgary to help me get an American passport and down to Great Falls so I could get a Social Security Number. I know the economies aren't the best right now, but who knows what the future might bring and if the dual citizenship will someday be useful for my future plans?

*Hi there Amanda,

There are several Bakers in Raymond and I am curious as to which ones you are related to now that you mention you have Bakers in your bloodline. I think, however, that Carol Dahl of Raymond might be your grandmother; is that correct? She is the only Dahl I know up there and she is an amazing lady. I have had many wonderful callings, but I have great faith that the best callings are yet to come! Do you travel to Raymond often to see your family?

Even though I am not yet a wife or a mother, I sometimes feel like there is not enough of me to go around. However, I wouldn't wish for a clone, as I love how unique Heavenly Father made me and the abilities He gifted me with that I might be able to help others who need it. I would love an eternal helpmeet someday to make an even better person than I already am, but until I get one, I am happy to love myself as God made me.

Andrea, I am envious that you and your family have been able to travel so much and I hope you were able to make lots of wonderful memories during your trips. Can I ask how you book such affordable vacations?

Hi there, Leland! It's really cool that you enjoy books so much and I'm happy that we have something in common, as I myself am an avid bookworm and book collector. I enjoy going to thrift stores or used bookstores to see what treasures I can find because you can get so much more for your money there than you can at a big-box bookstore
