My Course
Ctrl+Alt+Del: Empower Your Mind
Control your thoughts, alter your attitude, and delete negativity. This course is a 3-step process that empowers the young mind to make strides towards their ultimate potential through self-internalization, unpacking self-value, and surrounding oneself with dream champions.
CTRL: Students will explore emotional origins and develop skills to identify and care for emotions.
ALT: Students will articulate the underlying fear of failure and visualize what it means to “shine”.
DEL: Students will define what a friend is while avoiding those who might be dream thieves.
Students will walk away with the tools to nurture their emotions, recognize their value, and protect their dreams.
