The Strangest Secret

Just take 3 minutes to watch this meaningful video clip that's available from this link

http://www.thestrangestsecretmovie.com/miami/

and understand the message that it conveys.

Children of the Holocaust

Now let's watch this video of children who weren't as fortunate as those in the marshmallow test - they did not have a choice. Lest we forget; watch this and and believe that we are all creatures of God and no human being has a right to do this to another.

The Marshmallow Test

Yes, I know the children are adorable and it's just so cruel to put them through this test. But there was a point to the test. Ask me if you are interested to know and we can discuss this in class.
