Otherwise, please take a few minutes to complete it now

their name in your binder. Ask around amongst your family (your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.)
to see if you can find a little story or interesting piece of
information about them to share with us, also including who they are in
relation to you (i.e. - your Great Great Grandmother, Great Uncle, etc.).
5) Find an INSPIRING / MEANINGFUL QUOTE FROM SOMEONE FAMOUS
who was/is from Turkey. Write it down in beautiful handwriting, or
create a "Meme" quote pic with it, and include it in your binder. Or
just write it in your binder and MEMORIZE it to share it with us. You
can snap a pic of your artwork and submit it through the form linked

to submit your information and/or pics.
This will let me know who has done the work and will be in Journeyman class this week.

Happy Studying!
