I am thankful for the opportunity our family has to share this special holiday with our oldest son, Jasper, who is home from Iraq for 2-weeks.     – Judy Olson (Online Cohort)

I am thankful for my family and everything I take for granted. It is so easy to think of the things that I dont have or that I want. Thanksgiving is a great reflection to sit and really think about how bless I am and all the things I take for granted.     – Shelly Collier (Nampa Cohort)

I am Thankful for my health, employment, Yoga, family, friends, and my dog Frasier.  Life can throw you so many curve balls and without the support of family and friends, it is hard to imagine going through life without them.   I am thankful to have the ability to put on my running gear, tie my four-legged companion around my waist, hit the pavement, and enjoy what Mother Nature has given us.  I am also thankful for my Cohort team!  Attending class again with my classmates has certainly helped me stay motivated, positive and thrilled to know I will be graduating with a great group of people in December 2009.  The energy and support has helped me refocus on the ultimate goal of obtaining a degree.      – Delia McCormick (Boise Cohort)

I am so grateful for a country where I am free to do whatever I please. This is something that is overlooked by some, but is one of the cornerstones of our country. I am also grateful for all the brave soldiers who fight to uphold this great freedom. I am also blessed with a great family who cares and supports me in whatever I do. I am grateful to have a job that enjoy most of the time and that can provide enough for myself. I am also grateful to have the cnahce to further my education for my benefit. Finally, I am grateful to a cohort that I enjoy being with and that will support and help me when I need it.     – Chad Oakes (Boise Cohort)
