Cue The Band!  Let’s Hear Some High Tempo Celebration Music!

You made it to the final (and most important) assignment.  This is where you put everything together to create your very own personalized framework for how you show empathy to others.

Take the time to do this step right!

Remember to be thoughtful, open minded, self-reflective.

Constructed Journal Entry

Open a blank document somewhere.  This can be on Google Drive, on your computer, or anywhere else where you save important files.  Construct a private journal entry.  Where you will write down some of your thoughts and save them for later.  So that you can look at these thoughts again when you complete this course.

Your journal entry should include the following components:

• What is your current understanding of empathy?
• Do you think empathy is important?  Explain your reasons.
• What are your personal goals when it comes to being empathetic and compassionate?
• How do you think these goals will make you a better or more successful person?
• What are you going to do to implement these goals?

You will not submit this assignment to us.  This is just for your own personal records.
