Activities for week six 10/10 - 10/14 - 2011

Have you known people who should have risen to the top but didn't? They had all the talent they should ever need, but they still didn't succeed. Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Talent for talent's sake is a bauble and a show. Talent working with joy in the cause of universal truth lifts the possessor to a new power as a benefactor." I hope you are enjoying our class and are working to fully develop yourself to be your best and help our world to be its as well.

For extra credit you can bring something off the list for "Box of Love".
It is a Canning Hunger project to provide holiday dinners to needy families throughout the Los Angeles area during the holiday season.
See me and I will explain the project, and how you can make a difference.
