Do You Really Write This Stuff?

Dear Adam, Do you come up with these questions on your own, or do people really write to you? Sincerely, Doug

Dear Doug, When we undertake an endeavor so profound and exhilarating as to communicate to other people, we are entrusted with a great task. ALL SEMINARY COUNCIL What makes one person happy, or what makes them laugh, can cause another person great grief. Therefore, we must be very careful with our Leadership Made Visible Through. Service words lest we hurt another human being. What one person asks, so another might one day come to ask in A TOWN HALL MEETING WITH time. We must attune ourselves to the needs and the concerns, and even the criticism, of others in order to grow and become full individuals in THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT God’s kingdom. For, “no (hu)man is an island.” Is there something that you would like to share with Yours, the student body president? This is your opportunity to Adam express what you would like to see happen at Fuller. Note: All advice should be taken with a grain of salt as Adam is not a profes- sional counselor. Persons with serious conditions should seek professional attention. The SEMI does not endorse or condone the advice given here. But we 6pm do enjoy reading it.
