Fasting

I am on a facebook fast. I could feel it taking over my life, I could feel myself giving in to people's opinions, and I could feel a void in my personal relationships.

This semester I am starting the Pathways program through BYU-Idaho. It is an online program that takes a year to complete and includes a life-skills, math and English class, paired with a religion course each trimester. After this program, you can apply to BYU-I online courses at the discounted rate, just like if you were living on campus. It's such a blessing to my family to be able to have such an affordable education program available. There's no way we would possibly be able to afford school for me otherwise!

I feel like a facebook fast is just what I need in order to be successful in my schooling. I want to be able to concentrate and focus on the commandment to gain an education. I'm absolutely thrilled for this new adventure!
