WEDNESDAY 3 11 17 Warmup Answer the threepart

WEDNESDAY, 3. 11. 17 Warm-up: Answer the three-part question on your desk about conflict in your own life. Example: I experienced conflict with a friend in middle school who didn’t like the people I was hanging out with. It was tough, because she was my closest friend, but I could never invite her AND my other friends to go anywhere together. Honestly, things got really awkward and my best friend and I drifted apart. It wasn’t until we got to high school that I realized I was being selfish and that she was right about my new friends. This experience changed me, and reminded me what was most important in life. In the end, as cheesy as it sounds, I learned that you have to love yourself before you can love other people.
