This is YOUR journey: Do NOT go to sleep until you have done your challenge each day!
- It is your job to be honest to you!
- It may not be easy but you will finish what you set out to do!
- Small changes = Sustainability
- Big challenges are fun but less likely to stick
20 days are going to pass, whether you like it or not, so why don’t you buy into this assignment and make your final project a lot easier for you to accomplish.
Each day, you will be provided the first 10 minutes of class to complete the following questions. Questions that fall on the weekend are YOUR job!
It is your job to record your answers for each day! You will do this by creating and posting a short video on Instagram (you may create a special account specifically for this class). If you cannot make a post for the designated day, either post early, or contact Miss Arseneau to let her know. (@ccimissarseneau OR arseneau.riley@prairiesouth.ca).
Good Luck and enjoy the challenge!
