LBCC Adult Students Group

Today I'm exiting as program assistant in this department but I wanted to leave all of LB's students with a quote from American professor in Texas, PhD Brene Brown:
"Don't go through the world looking for evidence you don't belong because you'll always find it.
Don't walk through the world looking for evidence that you are not enough because you'll always find it.
Our worth and our belonging are not negotiated with other people. We carry that inside our hearts.
I'm not going to negotiate who I am with you because then I may fit in for you but I no longer belong to myself." Linn–Benton Community College

What are you watching during this coronavirus quarantine?

Perhaps it's a good thing masks were "on trend" a year ago (https://preview.tinyurl.com/maskfashion) since it seems there are designs and plenty of production out there. And now, the CDC even has a DIY how to make (and wear) masks. https://preview.tinyurl.com/cdconmasks
