Writing Into the Day (9:00 - 9:30)

    • Describe a time when you volunteered or sign-up for an activity and it wasn’t what you thought it was going to be? How was it different from other, more positive experiences, you have had? Was it boring, dangerous, or surprising?

OR

  • Feel free to write what is on your mind this morning. Be real, be personable and don't hold back!
