QUESTIONS WE CAME UP WITH THIS CLASS (and one that I added)

- What is your life like now?
- Do you have a life horror story? Or maybe just obstacles or difficulties that you had to work through to get where you are?
- What are your plans for the future? What comes next for you?
- How would you define success?
