people were suffering, and I could not bear to watch any longer. Junior year had just ended, and honestly, I was not looking forward to a weeklong service trip across the country to start my summer.

everyone knows with Skid Row. Alice Callaghan, a long time Skid Row activist sums up her experience by stating that, “City Hall in LA doesn’t seem to give much apparent thought to the human dimension of gentrification and dislocation of the poor” (Sustainable Cities, 2014).

Not everyone loves musicals as much as others, but most people can recognize when someone says “FEED ME” or “DON’T FEED THE PLANTS”.

1. What criteria – limit to four – should Scott Nolan use to screen suppliers to be integrated into the early phases of the Deere skid-steer loader development process? Why?

Maintaining awareness of stressors for counselors is very important. Some ways to know that you’re burning out is when it seems you’re dragging yourself into work, give advice as a shortcut rather than helping clients, begin sessions late and/or end early, doze off during sessions, experience a decline in empathy, do things
