[dropcap type=”quote”]”[/dropcap] “I will have more confidence in my actions. And remember to breathe in times of stress. I will not judge others because by judging others and making comparisons I am only closing myself off to things and experiences. I will remember that life is only one aspect of our whole being and our connection to each other and the Earth is the fire that burns within us and makes us who we are. There is no me and you, us and them.” – Maya, 17
Testimonials from Parents
[dropcap type=”quote”]”[/dropcap] “I got my relationship back with my daughter after Teen Journey. We each treat each other with more respect and care now. That has helped enormously in what was a very challenging situation,” – Michele Hall
[dropcap type=”quote”]”[/dropcap] “My daughter doesn’t like committing to anything, especially something that takes her away from home. She didn’t even want to go to Teen Journey, but on her return she wanted to sign up for the next year. Attending the monthly activities is something she looks forward to. I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it is. I am grateful to Teen Journey for giving my daughter a place where she can be herself and challenged to see the possibilities of more.” – Victoria Keddis
