Review for Insight University, Santa Fe, NM, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I signed up for this program because I heard from a friend that it was a great program, and so I went. Friends and school mates went as well. I arrived at the begining of the program, and had absolutely no idea of what to expect. To be frank, the first day was overwhelming, in the sense that there was so much things being thrown at you. I felt like a deer in headlights. The second day, was even more unbearable. I got home late from the previous day, and could not sleep much because I had to wake up early for the second day of Insight. Later that day, things got much better. Before this program, I alreay had awareness; I kind of knew what was going on as far as my feelings go. However, Insight helped me develop those skills further, and introduce me to other life skills. I would say that I'm somewhat positive, and ambitious, though very insecure and simply hard on myself a lot of the time. This program has strengthen me, and made me a much more positve person. It help me find ways to clear off the insecurity, and other negative things in my life. Most importantly, Insight helped me step out of my comfort zone. I use to be very shy; the kind of person who was scared to meet new people. I just couldn't, I couldn't go up to someone I did not know and simply say hi. Thanks to Insight, I'm now comfortable saying hi to someone I don't know, and start a conversation, it's become natural to me. This program is really, an amazing program. Hands down, five stars. I met people who were not excited, nor happy to have been in the program on the first day, but by the last day, they absolutely loved it. All my friends that went had such an amazing time at Insight, they loved it. I loved it as well, it was the best 4 days of my life!
