20 Point Bonus Question

As promised, I am posting the answer to the following question that was worth 20 points on your final exam....

What is the "one thing", the "take-away", the "life application" piece of this class? Hint: I've been talking about it all year.

No, it is not the fact that I will beat you with a wet noodle when you do or say something silly.

No, it is not that history repeats itself, although it does, occasionally.

The answer is simply, YOU can make history. With your actions, your reactions, by doing nothing at all or doing everything, you will change the world. Believe that you can, and you will...make history.

I love each and every one of you...Have a great summer!

Love,
Mrs. Kane
