As we focus on the work, I want you to continue to think about the person you are evolving into, the life you want to create for yourself in the future, and the type of leader you are becoming.  Continue to focus on creating a life you will be proud of now and in the future.

Please continue to make up missing assignments. We are getting close, but the game isn't over yet.  
Keep pushing forward!

Have a blessed week,

Today we will focus on the question, "Who am I as a person?"  

This post will count as a TEST for 50 points!

As you take notes, perform analysis, and write your response, make sure you are thinking deeply about who you are becoming. Consider this, will you want to live in the house you are building?
