"To Reach My Destination"

“I think you mustn't tell your body, you mustn't tell your soul, 'I'm going to retire.' You may be changing your life emphasis, but there's still things that you have in mind to do that now seems the right time to do..”...Ruby Dee...
I am always looking for NOTEBOOK PAPER, PLASTIC FORKS/SPOONS, PAPER TOWELS, HAND-SANITIZER & KLEENEX TISSUES, and SMALL BITE-SIZE CANDIES for the class.    
Besides LECTURES, you are held accountable for any READ, REVIEW, REINFORCE or VIEW taskings which can show on QUIZZES, TESTS, or other EVALUATIONS. Any OPTIONAL resource is just that - optional and students will not be evaluated on that resource
