Post on Massaro reading and the NDNU founders week

-After reading the hearty hand out I was taken back on how many social topics were covered and supported by the catholic church. Granted I have had previous experiences with the practice of theology, I simply assumed such a practice would serve as norms for followers of the church to adhere to yet time and time again I was reminded by the interwoven values we as Americans hold so close such as basic human writes and liberties. yet others were present such as the collective support of the younger generation. this kept reminding me about an old proverb "Society Grows great when old man plant trees whose shade they will never sit under". That by sacrificing ones time we all can make for a better society.

-Founders week was especially entertaining and informative, the history of NDNU is rich with lessons one is still able to obtain and apply to contemporary NDNU, such as the aiding of others. Just the other day we have gifted a large wicker basket for the commuters lounge and inside were personalized lunch baggies filled with small snacks and drinks. to some this may seem like a nice gesture yet for others like myself I found this act to be very gracious since I had to stay later in the day and did not pack my usual lunch. a small gesture of kindness really goes a long way.
