God’s grace is bigger than any mistake I have made.
- 7:30am ICEV Vet Assisting class.
- Studied vet assisting I class notes (as part of my education goals).

- I ran all day. We weren’t permitted to eat our KDP lunch in the chow hall, so I had to run to my dorm, make it and eat it there, then run back to Education to continue class. I was beat by the end of the day.
- This morning the new group of ten dorm leaders held our meeting. I passed the baton to our dorm’s new Senior Coordinator. The 7am meetings are a requirement of the Incentive Program (IP) also known as our Peer To Peer Program. 10 members from each dorm lead our morning meetings Mon-Fri while the entire dorm stands up in a big circle. Here is information about the leadership position I held for just over 90 days:
