"The program set me on a renewed path in life"

"I have found more courage to pursue my goals and dream life"
I had always sabotaged myself in the pursuit of most of my goals and dreams; often backing off easily when I felt I did not have the resources, qualifications or wherewithal for those dreams. Now I look at every goal with the sage mindset of opportunity and the courage to start regardless of limits.
