Learning Challenge: Ou Student Videos on Mental Health

The videos made me really emotional and I'm glad that they made these videos to destigmatize mental illness because I have heard many comments from people who don't understand and they disregard mental illness as people who are just trying to get attention or are overreacting.

The dad went out late at night to gather wood for the fire and discovered seven wild duck eggs that would be perfect for breakfast the next morning. He hid them in his bedroom with the selfish thought of not sharing with any of his children.      The wife woke up early in the morning to cook breakfast for the family and discovered the duck eggs in a drawer with her clothes. She fried them up one by one for each daughter as they woke up and walked into the kitchen. She made each one promise not to tell anyone else or they would not receive a duck egg. The father was the last one to wake up and he excitedly opened his drawer to look for the wild duck eggs that he could eat for breakfast but discovered that they were no longer there. He caught a whiff of the lingering scent of the fried duck eggs coming f
