About The Blogger

     My name is Jerica Jackman and I am the youngest of four and the only girl. I have a great family which I love to pieces. I brag about them any chance I get! I am a senior at Brigham Young University-Idaho studying Healthcare Administration, but also taking many family relationship classes. I have always loved the idea of marriage and family and hope to have a family of my own someday.
     Growing up in California I was always surrounded by many different types of family situations. Some with single-parent homes, some with broken marriages, and some with parents that loved each other and tried their best to make it work. I love all of my friends parents, I look up to them and I still keep in touch with many of them. Over the years I had heard the phrase, "Jerica, how come your family is so perfect?" many times. I don't remember what I ever said in reply to that question but as I have grown up that question still runs through my mind. Today, I know that my family is not perfect and we have our own struggles as do all of you, but I think I know why our family seemed to run so smoothly. It is because of the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I probably missed many missionary opportunities to help other families figure this out too, but hopefully I can make up for it now.
     The purpose of this blog is to help those who want to, become the best person they can be. To prepare themselves for marriage, family, and eternal life. In the classes that I am currently taking, I have been so enlightened on how to be the best that I can now, so I can be the best I can then. Some of the tasks, talks, and activities will be ones that I have learned in the classroom, and some that I have learned in my own home. But, I encourage you to make this opportunity one that pushes you to grow and become the best you can. I hope you will have your eyes opened to the opportunities that can be yours if you put your trust in God.
