The journey & classes

Since I was laid off in April 2009, I have been taking classes every quarter to pursue an Information Systems Associate of Arts Degree. A lot of the classes are related to the work I did as a data analyst and web developer for 14 years. Summer quarter, one class was American Culture. I really enjoyed this class because it related to genealogy research and how it helps to understand our ancestors' countries when we are doing research. I did my research report on genealogy research, too. It seems like most of us are in a rush to jump across the pond to find the original country are ancestors came from, including me. I realized my ancestors have been in the United States and Canada at least 100+ years. There is so much history on this continent that I would like to learn to help me understand why my ancestors chose to live where they did and what they did.

I am definitely going to do some more researching and reading about these various areas where my ancestors lived.

Fall quarter starts in a week. I hope to post some new information before then.
