BUS 110 Week 1 Reflection

This week, I began the next phase of my education. I spent much of last year completing a program called BYU-Pathway. This is a program through the LDS church that my wife is a member of. It is designed to help people that are thinking about getting back into school. It guides them through four or five courses that help to see how much work may be involved and gives them ways that they can deal with the added stress and efforts that will be required of them. 

After successful completion of this program, you are encouraged to apply for a degree program so that you can continue to reach your goals in life. I have chosen to continue and finish my pursuit of obtaining a degree in Business Management. This is a degree that I have been working on for a few years. I believe that this will help me to better care for the people that I care about.

This first week of the class has been a little rough on me. I had to squeeze in my classwork between being sick and trying to cover for my boss quitting his job and just walking away without giving any sort of information about what he had been working on for the next couple of weeks.

To accomplish my studies, I leaned on some of the lessons from the Pathway Program. Through that program I learned to rely on those around me for their help with matters that I have difficulty with. I also learned that I just need to have the correct mindset for the tasks at hand. By ensuring that I am going into this and all future weeks of my education with a growth mindset, I will give myself a much better chance of success in the weeks, months, and years to come.
