5. Mr. Smith led discussion - What is important to you? In life? Why are we all here? For some people their destiny will include landing a regular 9-5 job and climbing the corporate ladder - for others - their purpose will include following their passions and potentially living outside of what is considered the societal norm. Let's check out a family who has chosen to live life through their calling to surf and travel the world.

Intro to 'Given' - Netflix. 1 hour 15 min

"Given is the simple yet powerfully contemplative story of a unique family legacy come full circle. Told through the experience of a 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations. Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy’s understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature. Deeply moving, Given gives us the humbling contrast of a small voice voyaging through a big world as it finds its way home again.
