Making Mondays Matter Monthly 

This month's topic: "What is your story?"

Think of a significant event in your life that you have been through that you think has given you some wisdom you could impart to someone else. It could be something like parents divorcing, moving, starting at a new school, meeting someone who changed your life, etc.

Use that event to tell you story in a 40 word response.
