Welcome! My name is Zack Murri, I'm a student at BYU-Idaho and this semester I'm taking a family relationships class where I will learn about the importance of families and what impact a family can have on an individual. I'm excited for this class because my family has been a great blessing for me personally, and I hope to one day emulate the great things they've done to help me. I'm sure this class will be an important step in my path to do just that! Each week I will be posting a few of the things I'm learning from this college course, as well as my own insights and opinions. I hope you as readers will leave comments about your own insights and opinions as well, this will help me learn and study. Thank you!
