reading amp viewing assignment what the hell is going on
Now is the time to put into practice what you already know and what you’ve already learned in your education as a smart person.
How do we remain positive, resilient (Links to an external site.) while looking at reality plainly in the face. Things do get better, but for now- how can we begin to act in ways that are constructive and helpful.
Our next steps in this (online) course will see us step away from the planned syllabus and into a new couple of weeks of assignments. Our first step, however, is to begin to look at our own approach to how we think about ourselves and who we are…and how we are in this world.
