Activities for week six first semester 10/5 - 10/9 - 2015

Society's landscape is strewn with people who could have been great - those who show amazing promise but never reach their full potential.  And then there are others like Douglas, Churchill, Bono, Oprah, and Bradbury, who went to the next level by multiplying and maximizing their talent and improved the world around them in the process. I am asking you to be in that special group of people who make the world a better place, by coming prepared to class and actively participating to make the class more fun, because of the exchange of ideas. You are doing a good job, but let's be great!  Please check Aeries, and see me if there are any problems with your grade.
