"Before I Die . . . ." TEDTalk

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone. 

Bad things happen, but it's how we react.

The best way to help yourself is to help others.
