I went to Southern Utah University for 2 years. Then to LDS Business College for 1 year where I received my associates degree in general studies, business, and accounting (as well as gaining an accounting certificate). Then I went to Brigham Young University - Idaho for 1 semester. Then I went to Utah Valley University for 2 years where I received my bachelor degree in business management emphasis in human resources.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. This could get long. I started at Ricks College, which changed to BYU-Idaho while I was there. I was there for two and a half years and received my associates degree in health science. Then, I went to Salt Lake Community College for a semester. I also attended Utah State University, where I met Ben and became a true Aggie and studied dietetics. Next, I followed my true love to Boise State University and studied culinary arts. And, last but not least, I went to the University of Utah and will be receiving my bachelor of arts degree in the mail shortly in the field of human development and family consumer science.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school I wanted to go to BYU although I didn't really know much about any colleges like we might today. I guess I just figured it was a Church school. Anyway, some of my friends found out I wanted to go to BYU and brought some little 3x5 type of cards to me to fill out which turned out to be applications to be their roommates at Heritage Halls at BYU. I would have been totally clueless about anything to do with housing if it weren't for them. (Some of them had older sisters that went to BYU and knew the ropes.) Anyway, I began going to BYU fall semester of 1968. I ended up graduating in 1973 because I got married in 1971 and had a full-time job with the Seminaries and Institutes and as a benefit I could have free tuition for classes. So instead of going full time the last year or so I just took classes at night or before going to work. I got my bachelors degree in English education with a minor in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI attended 2 high schools. My freshman year was at Marina High because Huntington Beach High was being remodeled. Marina High had a moat! The bus had to cross over a bridge! The classrooms had only one window each. It was a small slit in the door and it only looked out into a hallway. We called it "The Rock", the nickname for Alcatraz. I didn't mind. I was there to learn.
ReplyDeleteThe next 3 years I attended Huntington Beach High, a beautifully architected school with arches, large windows in every classroom facing beautiful gardens and tall trees. It was also steeped in tradition.
I studied hard in high school and received decent grades in my college prep academic program, but I had no clue about college. I enrolled at Orange Coast Junior College.
I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 23, 1967. I immediately had a desire to be a missionary. The bishop encouraged me to go to BYU to prepare for a mission. So, in the Fall of 1968, I transferred to BYU. After one year at BYU and failing my Missionary Prep class, I took a two year leave to serve in the Japan Central Mission. My MTC experience and mission are another story. I left on my mission in August of 1969 and returned on August of 1971 and went back to BYU in September of 1971 and was married to Julie Marilyn Namba in December 1971.
I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Zoology and minor in Chemistry in 1974. I continued at BYU and received my Master of Science in Zoology and minor in Statistics in 1976. My goal was to go into Wildlife Resources or some environmental occupation, but that didn't work out because I wanted to live in a place where I could help Julie raise the family and be with them.
I spent four years learning construction with Julie's Dad, Masato Namba and certified as a General Contractor in 1980.
It became obvious that I did not have a business aptitude, so when construction hit a lag period, I learned to be a computer systems programmer on the job at Hercules Incorporated.
I went to Ricks College in 1992(before it became BYU Idaho...so that kind of dates me) for two and a half years. I got my Associates degree. I then transferred to Utah State University (1994)where I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education.
