High School Students

Yoni Epstein
Israeli High School Student
"The counseling provided me with the perfect environment to voice my thoughts, doubts, opinions and lay out and develop my 'thought process' in depth. One of the most important aspects of ReadyMinds for me as a well-renowned procrastinator was that it served as a framework for action.
I gained a lot while reading my Insight Into U report, even in areas where I had not expected or tried to pursue - such as what motivates me and which values are important to me. My counselor was a great counselor! Thank you!"
Completed ReadyMinds Program: April 2003

Xavier Lopez
High School Graduate
"It helped me realize what direction to go in. The counselor helped me figure out my goals. Which I still don't know what they are, but she did give me a good idea on what alternatives and direction I can choose to go in. Also the way I should approach life in general and what to expect from it."
