This week, I have enjoyed learning about two things: writing my core values statements and doing the deconstructing of my fears activity. Writing about my core values statements was one of the helpful things I have done in this course. It made me recall a personal activity my Mission President have asked us as missionaries to do in order to become better persons. He called it the "three S" activité. The activity was about taking paper and writing on it statements about your habits in the mission field. In the first part, we had to write three specifics things that we commit to "STOP" doing and in the second part, write three specifics things we commit to "START". In the "STOPS" list, you should write all the bad things you used to do and in the "START" write all the good things you did not yet start to do. This activity was of great help for me because it helped me develop habits that help me finish my mission with honor. That activity ...

This week, I was very happy about what happened in my Entrepreneur Course. I am feeling great joy in my heart while I am editing this post. I have always wanted to pursue a university education all my life. When I got my high school diploma, I stopped going to school because there was not enough money for that.

This week was my first week as a BYU-Idaho online student. I knew it will be a little bit difficult because of my work, but I never exactly knew at which level. The first day I needed to wake up early in the night, at midnight, to do some assignments because there was many others assignment to day. I remember I took six hours to do only one exercice. I started it at midnight when most of people were still sleeping and ended it at 6 am in the morning. I couldn't beleive I spend all the night doing only one exercie whereas there were many others exercices to do. I also had to go to the work that morning despite I didn't sleep all the night.

Then came the Econ 150 course; In his lesson 01 it's talked about the things we should consider when we are about to take a decision. I learned that there're some things called the marginal benefits and the marginal costs. In simply term,...
