Tomorrow, YOU will write Your very own VISION of Freedom to finish this week's activities.

This VISION should keep in mind all the stories and include parts of the definitions of freedoms we made for Amerigo, Gopi, Patricio, and Maya.

A VISION of Freedom is more than just a definition because as we learned one, single sentence is not enough and has too many loopholes.

A VISION of Freedom is 2-4 paragraphs and is detailed, specific, personal, and passionate!!!!
