part of getting these jobs include going to college, but college can be a very difficult experience, so I prayed long and hard about it and I feel like God is calling me to prairie Bible college. And I was accepted, here are all the specifics:

The life style I am planning to have in the future, is one of an RCMP officer, who owns a farm out in the country, and God willing has a wife and kids, goes to to church on a regular bases. And travels to see his parents as often as he can!

I don't think its so much factors in my home and school life, that has led me to these decisions, I think it is more God put these decisions in my heart..... He gave me passion for the country, he gave me the skill and patients to care for and help someone.... its what God has given me that has told me what to do, and that made me make these decisions I have made.

Resume: I'll provide this directly to my teacher

I'll send a financial plan directly to my teacher as well

A healthy life style is VERY important! My plan is to become an RCMP constable, being a member of the RCMP you have to maintain a certain level of physical fitness, and well being........ With this comes the responsibility of what you eat, and seeing as I can cook, I will cook all my own food and avoid fast food..... I'm also planning on continuing my lacrosse career, which will keep me physically fit!
