Assignment

1. Think back to the time when you were an adolescent. Try to remember one thing – happy or sad – that happened to you, that you still recall vividly? Please share that with us if you want to me. If not, please do not. Just spend a few minutes reflecting on it.

2. Identify 2-3 concrete ways in which the world that adolescents are growing in your city today (in the first half of the second decade of the 21st century) is different from the world that you grew up in as adolescent.
