I was concerned that four hours with our year eleven students might prove too much. Brian knew he could do it and of course he was right. It was a great success.
The photographs taken (during the fourth hour) show the involvement of the boys to the end. I am still waiting for feedback on the book but have received very favourable feedback on the day.
Sunday:” It has really inspired me. Something I thought I couldn’t do – now I can. I wake myself up without an alarm clock. Everything I say is true. I believe in myself.
I do better in my schoolwork because I trust myself. Every night before I go to sleep I look at my goal map and I say I can do it – and I can do it better.”
Amarildo:” It was really good and inspiring. It has helped me with the way I think when I want to do something, I feel more confident about myself.”
Jamie:” It made me think more positively and achieve anything I put my mind to.”
Lee:” It gives you a different view on life. Using methods Brian gave us has helped me with some personal problems that I had”.
