1. I learned that for many people in this class, there is many things that i didn’t know about them.
2. What our group has decided is to sell wristbands to raise money for children in need. The organization our group is thinking about donating to is the Make A Wish foundation.
3. I talked to my dad, my mom, and my friend about this and I got almost the same response from each person. Each one thought it was very cool to put this into a class, and it’s amazing what we’re doing because many people are less fortunate and will be thankful for what we’re doing, whether we realize it or not.

The bag activity taught me a lot about what my classmates take to heart, what they are passionate for. I can’t say I learned a lot for myself because I already know what I hold dear and what I am passionate for. I believe we are raffling off bucks tickets and I have no clue for when it will be yet.
