Lamech grew up on a hobby farm in Crawford Bay where he was home schooled. He struggled when entering public school in grade 3. At age 20, after working in construction, he attended the University of Fraser Valley feeling lacking in purpose. He later completed a Master's in Education at TRU online, finding the courses provided deep reflection. His educational journey included experiences with distance learning in grade 6, a summer job in Crawford Bay at age 16, and relocating with his family before his senior year of high school.

I Grew up in the small town of Crawford Bay on a hobby
farm. It was on this farm that I gained experiential life
lessons while being home schooled. Having been home
schooled led to early struggles when I entered the public
school system in grade 3.
At the age of 20 after a couple years working in
construction I started attending the University of the
Fraser Valley. This was a time of ambivalence in my life.
Despite being so young I felt that I lacked a purpose and
direction in life. University was the logical option at the
time as it provided feelings of advancement.
At this time last year I had just started my Master of Education at
TRU exclusively online. Despite being online and missing the
opportunity for in class discussions I found the courses to provide
opportunities for deep and meaningful though and reflection.
When I was sixteen I was fortunate to have been
awarded the coveted student dishwasher job at
Tipi Camp in Crawford Bay. I was permitted to
interact and often join in retreats during down
time.
Each course during my master of education
experience at TRU brought a lot of growth and de
thinking. EDUC 5040 was a course that gave more
than the others however. EDUC 5040 was my firs
internal confrontation with not only the attempte
genocide of the indigenous people but also my ow
privilege
The summer before I was set to begin my final year of
Highschool, my family moved to Thunder Bay ON. I was
given the option of staying with friends and graduating in
the town I grew up in or move to a new school. I chose to
move with my familY.
The first half of 2014 saw me get married, gain 2 stepkids,
receive my Bachelor of Education, moved to Kamloops,
searched for and found a job. This whirlwind of events
put teaching on the side burner in favour of an immediate
job and short term goals.
When I was in grade 6 I was struggling in school
academically and socially. I was granted the
opportunity to do my grade 6 year from home
through the distance education program.
