Testimonies from those changed by Beyond This

Beyond This Can Change Your Life or the Life of Someone You Love

Beyond This changed my life. I was able to discover new things about myself, my passions, and the path on which I was about to walk. I was able to learn how to love well, live passionately, and was worthy of my calling.
– Kirstin Spohn, Beyond This Class Alumni

It helped me realize how other people live their lives. (It’s) not just about myself.
Conner Helmen, Cathedral High School Peer Mentor

Beyond This challenged me to look and search within myself. I had to dig through the many layers that have built up over the years to find out what is going on deep down inside of me. I was able to see clearly where I am headed. I learned things about myself that I did not even know were there. Through Beyond This I was taught my craziest dream could come true.
– Jayla Newton, Beyond This Class Alumni

It taught me about myself and others. I’m more aware of others and their emotions and the affect I have on them.
Morgen Sell, Cathedral High School Peer Mentor

I watched my daughter transform so much this past year. Thank you so very much for all that you have done to help these young men and women change in their own personal life.
– Karen Morris, mother of a Beyond This Student

As a teacher it is exciting to hear from students that they learned a great deal about themselves from the assessment results. Many of them have begun to recognize the “why” behind some of their behaviors and look forward to the classes each week where they can learn how to overcome these obstacles and move forward toward being better leaders. We envision being partnered with the Beyond This team for many years and fostering outstanding leaders of the future!
Cindy Smith, Teacher, Greenwood Christian Schools

I have focused on how to handle problems and overcome my struggles better.
Meg Walker, Cathedral High School Peer Mentor

Cathedral, as a a school founded in the tradition of the Brothers of the Holy Cross, seeks as its final goal for her students – Transformation. As a person who has participated in both the Holy Cross tradition and the Beyond This program I can say that Beyond This was transformational for many of the students, and in particular those seniors who were involved with both the assessment and the curriculum. As an educational institution, we strive to inform, integrate and transform which matches the goals of Beyond This.
Dr. Tom Greer, Vice Principal for Student Affairs, Cathedral High School
