CSS Layout Challenge

###Challenge 1: Chalenge 1 In this challenge I made three divs in one section. I made one class for all three divs as well as individual ids for each. For the class i made all the divs the same width and height, same display of inline-block, same color and same absolute position. I put them in a section with a relative position. This was they all align at the top part of the section. I made the position from div 3 10px from the right. I made the position of div2 110px from the right. I made the margin-right on div2 10px to give it a small buffer of white space between div2 and div3. I left div1 alone as an aboslute position would keep it in the upper most left hand corner of the 'relative' section.

###Challenge 2:Challenge 2 In this challenge I have the same html set up as challenge 1. The differences in the css are simply adding the top attribut to div2 and div3. In div2 I added 100px

  1. What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?
  • I feel that empathy has been a huge factor in my life. It has helped me understand how to be a good friend. I have had issues with friends where we were arguing over an issue where both parties were "right."
  • However once I realized what really hurt my friend was that I was more concerned with being "right" than I was with their feelings. As a result I apologized, droping the issue and we are still great friends to this day.
