“Meditation has made most of my days better and has better prepared me for the obstacles that have yet to come.”
– China, 10th Grade
"I always think to myself, “Where would I be if I didn’t have meditation?” I’m pretty sure I would be stressing out for no reason and my life would be a mess. Meditation has taught me life lessons I would not have learned anywhere else, meditation is special."

Inner Strength helped me fully express my thoughts using words. I learned how to organize my thoughts. I liked how all the lessons were very realistic and interactive.
– Juanita, 11th Grade
I liked learning about how the human brain works and what parts of the brain tie into certain parts of thinking and how we operate. It helped me learn about myself.
– Jordan, 9th Grade
I learned how to be more self aware and productive with my thoughts. We as people don’t realize how fast our thoughts are and acknowledging them instead of avoiding them is what can bring peace. Also, with every experience you have in life later creates wisdom, so worrying less about struggles that you face would make people appreciate life more and just live in the present moment.

I liked the quiet mindfulness exercises because I was able to relax and also pay attention to my surroundings in a peaceful way.
– Cameron, 10th Grade
I learned how to calm myself down through breathing if I ever get anxious, angry, or overall bothered. For example, if I have to present and I’m nervous I use the mindfulness practice of breathing, which slows my heart rate and makes me much less nervous.
– Nasirah, 9th Grade
I learned about myself and others. For example, at home whenever I see one of my family members acting a certain way I try to trace back to what may have caused them to act that way. As for myself, I feel that it has helped me understand what helps me focus more.
– Alvin, 12th Grade
I liked how my instructor wanted us to feel included but not forced to participate in the sessions. For example, she gave us notebooks to write our feelings in if we didn’t feel like saying it out loud.
