My first steps into this new venture
Beginning in the end of July I found out about BYU Idaho’s 2024 Summer Session and decided I was going to accelerate my university goals and attempt 6 units before the Fall Semester when I officially begin as a full-time student for the first time in my life. Why am I doing this when I’m already forty-seven years old? Why didn’t I do this sooner?
Well to be honest, I’ve always been a “student” but rarely
have I put that study towards college credits.
I have taken various real estate and mortgage courses from private trade
schools and those lessons were great, but while those courses were federally or
state recognized for licensing purposes, they just don’t carry the added weight
college courses using the same lessons would carry. I concluded already when talking to my
daughter about her academic career, the need to finish college. Shortly after, while volunteering at my
daughter’s school a student asked me if I was a teacher and I responded
no. She replied I should be because I
was nice. This made me think, I had a
small business already, but it wasn’t satisfying. Explaining to clients that I went to a trade
school just didn’t have the spark that my friends had in saying they went to
BYU or BYU Idaho as those are known to excel in their business academics. Plus, there are teaching opportunities if I
get my degree that I would enjoy doing part time. That is why I am here now, the next step in
my entrepreneurial step is to finish my degree at BYU Idaho.
