high school

I moved to another country in high school, and in that new environment, I became quite average.

It made me look at my high school years in a new light and how it affected myself and those I went to school with as well.

my daughter

Gave me some information I'm passing onto my daughter on her journey through middleschool also.

I learned a lot of valuable information I can use with my daughter and myself.

I’m seeing a lot in my daughter that I learned in this course, or was reinforced by it, and now I can work to make things better for both as far as our emotional/psychological health is concerned.
