Writing for Publication

“Are we there yet?” A question asked by countless children

and heard by countless parents since the first automobile road

trip. Today, "are we there yet" has taken on a new meaning.

Today, before we arrive at wherever it is we are going, we first

need to understand where we are. Throughout the centuries,

the human race has encountered and overcome obstacles; it

has progressed, forged ahead, and changed; it is adaptable,

resilient, and strong. These survival traits again are in

evidence as we all travel the unmapped, and at times unpaved

roads of our journey.

While on our journey we are staying connected through social

media and the internet, and PCC Extension is here to help you

stay connected by providing lifelong learning opportunities

online. Your PCC Extension staff has worked hard to stay in

touch with you, to assist where and when possible, to answer

your questions, and to provide solutions. One important

solution is being able to bring to you a variety of summer online

learning opportunities: courses, workshops, and programs.

These opportunities range from enrichment (why not a course

in preparing quick meals), to curiosity (what is Cybersecurity

really all about), to career enhancement and skill building (add

a Certificate to your resume). Online registration is easy, and

mail-in registrations still are an option. We will “get there,” and

when we do, it is hoped that your life will have been enriched,

perhaps even changed, by traveling your own road of online

lifelong learning.
