  5. Reactions and Impacts • React to Will Smith’s interview on your Personal Legend worksheet: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckhbz4xuLfM

  6. “Everything happens for a reason” • Think about situations you may have encountered in your life in which you learned lessons. Do you believe these happened for a reason? What was the reason? • Journal about one or two of these situations on your worksheet (be as specific or as broad as you feel comfortable)

  7. React to the quote below • “There is only one way to learn . . . it’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey,” (125) • Do you believe this to be true? Is there a difference between being educated through school and being educated through life or do they go hand in hand? How so?
