2. An understanding of how to break through self-imposed obstacles. Looking Ahead and Living Now brings students on the journey towards self awareness. They will explore the major influences in their lives and be shown how to redesign their own personal ‘software’ to help them survive and thrive in the real world. Furthermore they will be inspired to choose differently and more positively in the future
