Life Reflection Discussion / Essential "55" / Hour of Code Intro

A "Life Worth Living" Reflection Class Meeting Time:

Today I want you to think about your goals in life. Please review the following video in class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja-n5qUNRi8 and participate in a brief discussion afterwards. What is the main message of the video?  How can you apply that message to your life?  What decisions will you make because of that message as you grow and mature?  Should others watch this video (why/why not)?
