1. Read pages 1 through 33 in your textbook, “The Study of Change“. Then, in well written sentences, share the most important thought you took from these pages you read. In other words, was their something specific you read that made you think about ‘change’ in your life?

2. Watch BOTH videos about a remarkable young high school girl, named Kayla Montgomery, who has had to deal with a sudden and grave misfortune in her life. Kayla’s lesson to anyone willing to listen is the importance of ‘attitude’ when dealing with any ‘change’ in one’s life. Tell me

• if you agree with Kayla’s perspective that a person’s attitude is critical to effectively managing changes in our lives (answer “yes, I agree” or “no, I don’t agree”).
• If you “agree” with Kayla about the importance of attitude, tell me, in a well written paragraph, why you agree with Kayla and if you have had to manage with your attitude during personal changes while either extending yourself out of your comfort zone or during other challenges, misfortune or tragedy.
• If you “disagree” with Kayla about the importance of attitude, tell me, in a well written paragraph, why you disagree with Kayla and why your attitude wasn’t important as you were dealing with personal changes while either extending yourself out of your comfort zone or during other challenges, misfortune or tragedy.

3. Explain, in well written sentences, why the author of “A Study of Change” would use this specific photo of Bristol Harbor on the cover of this book.  This photo apparently is a metaphor for the topic of the book.   Please explain why you believe the author chose this specific Richard Benjamin photograph to be on the cover of this book.

4.  Please submit your answers for all the previous questions to Stephen Cronin’s email no later than Wednesday, December 9th.
