38 your cooperation. On the small piece of paper please
39 the 3 biggest problems you are facing in your personal life right now. Don’t write your name on it. We’ll keep it

43 expressions throughout the room,
44 again, everyone cooperated, wanting to know what would

Professor Smith shook the basket and then he
