For my diversity assignment‚ I chose to interview my classmate Annemarie Farina. I conducted my interview on February 5th in the Library at Pete’s Café.

Psalm 147 relates to the title because it’s about helping others. In the psalm 147 It explains about the lord protecting the Jews. It kinda sounds like Annemarie helping out the Rosens.
