In 2-3 pages  final reflection essay and for this week, you’ll consider LeGuin, “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” attached and ways it has prepared you to live a life of leadership and influence in the world.  We reflect to understand who we uniquely are (Composing A Life) and to grasp the critical questions of purpose and meaning, both individually and collectively (Searching For Truths).  The results of our reflection form the basis for our life’s work,  This is the ‘doing’ of life, Working for Community and Justice.

What is your one thing?
Knowing that, how will you use it for others in your one, precious life?
