    How well do you know the area you stay in -- whether your hometown or your campus community? In what ways is a deep knowledge of your surroundings -- known as a 'sense of place' -- important to you?

    I did not know the area I stayed in very well. I live right next to a cemetery. Evergreen Cemetery that is actually quit famous. I took this past month to do my research and history on it. This was important to be because I was able to grow to appreciate it more. My sister is actually barried there so being able to now have a greater knowledge of the cemetary itself was very special to me.

      In October there is the Evergreen Cemetery walk. It’s done by the McLean County Museum of History, and is a wonderful program.

    How do you deal with the physical and emotional stress of the big problems we face? How can you help others cope?

    I make sure to always take a step back and remember that there is only so much I can control. I then take inventory on what I can control and how I am doing in those areas and if I am making a difference or not in bigger problems the world faces ect.

    I practice self care by journaling everyday and taking an hour a day to myself and catching up with me both mentally and physically (brushing my hair, cleaning brows up, doing facials ect)

      Taking care of yourself kind of recharges your batteries to get everything else done.

    What are your top 3-5 core values? How did you narrow it down to those as being your core values?

    Darlease Watts 4/26/2021 1:21 PM
    3 core values that I made for myself is to always remember that the high road is less traffic and to just take it, to always hope for the best but to expect the worse, and to believe the best in people even when the odds don't really point in their favor.
