Okay, so we got the rest of this week off! Yay!
Here's a quick assignment to refresh a little bit of what we have been doing for the past couple of months.
Next week we will cover car ownership and loans and touch on some social etiquette's you should be aware of before entering the next chapter of your lives. The following week will be finals but don't worry! We will have time to review!
For your assignment today, I have attached three TED talks. TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understand of the world. TED talk's are short speeches from well versed individuals about a topic they're known to be experts on.
