Announcements RACHEL’S FIRST FIVE: WEEK 17 Wednesday (Ethical question or scenarios) If you found a wallet with $100 inside and decided to send it back to its owner, would you return the wallet with or without the money? Thursday (Discuss the Topic) What are ways that you can make a new student feel comfortable? Friday (Just a Thought) In my interactions with people, I try to plant seeds of respect, good intent and my joy of life.
