Journal Writing:

"Kindness does matter. Rather than focusing on our differences—whether subtle or obvious—we need to instead focus on what we do have in common with each other. The bottom line here is that we have more similarities with one another than differences. We are all capable of doing better and being better in how we treat one another. It’s simply a matter of choice as to how we proceed. Choose kind."

Example 1: “…we should be remembered for the things we do. They are more important than what
we say or what we look like.” —Auggie’s comments about what the precept, Your deeds are your
monuments means to him (p. 65)

Write about how YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED.
