The MAD cards were very interesting to say the least. When presented with the cards i thought it would be simple to choose which cards i thought were the most beneficial but it ended up being a tougher decision in the end. Their was a wide variety of different topics which made it hard to narrow it down and choose the most important topics. The cards were varied with each person in the class  which made me realize that everyone has different ideas of what they think are minor or serious problems. The MAD cards helped me realize what i thought was important and what was of little concern to me, which really helped me learn more about myself because i have never been asked to choose between such important topics. I would like to gain a better understanding of philanthropy and i hope to gain extensive knowledge in the philanthropic areas that  I am interested in.
