Young Adults Inspired Destiny for Schools

Give Yourself the Advantage in Life

One of the most stressful  times in our lives come at the time when we are either in senior school, gearing up to leave school or when we have just left school and trying to figure out what we would love to do with our lives. Some people are clear on their path ahead while others are charged with burning questions as to what to do, what to study and how to make it in the adult world. On the one hand this is an exciting time, liberated into adulthood, free to make all our own decisions and on the other, a truly challenging time as we are now responsible for our lives. We feel pressure to know what to do, know what we want to be and how to go about achieving the lifestyle we desire. Sometimes not knowing the answers to these questions and the pressure to decide can be confusing, it can cause us to feel angry and depressed.

• How do I know what my purpose is?
• I can't stay focused in class what do I do?

A special note from Matthew Kushner, Dean of Students, Edumap College:

Monday September 20, 2010 was a very special day in the annals of Edumap College.  62 students and 3 lecturers attended Dr John F. Demartini's ‘Young Adults Inspired Destiny' workshop in the Sandton Convention Centre.  The students come from disadvantaged backgrounds, many could scarcely understand or speak English when they arrived early in 2010 - certainly not one had ever had such an experience.  The cordial welcome from the Demartini team put everyone at ease; the beautiful upmarket venue added a mind-opening edge of excitement.

The students were inspired, uplifted, moved and delighted with the information,

insights, examples and the humour Dr Demartini offered.  They moved with him from precepts to hopes to convictions; they loved every minute.

Perhaps some of their spontaneously voiced thank you's say it all:

1. Kentse Seleke thanked God for the talent He gave Dr Demartini and for inspiring him to share his extraordinary learning and understanding with us all.
2. Dineo Ramafoko felt inspired to sing a song.
3. Mafomane Mbiza spoke (for the first time) of having had to overcome early cripplement in her legs.  She is now quite a mover and shaker in the College netball and girls' football teams.
4. And then, a very moving surprise for us - Tshepho Mokoena wrote and shared a poem to express his profound awakening and thanks, which he referred to as a kind of rebirth. He could hardly manage a simple English sentence in February this year, so his self-confidence in expressing himself in a poem to 100+ people was special.
5. And lastly there's Hope - Motheo Mogale - who is changed forever.  No more just a sweet, caring face, when we meet she says, in greeting, "I'm a genius, and I apply my wisdom!"

In this informative clip of our latest Young Adults Inspired Destiny program watch as Dr Demartini explains his inspiration behind the program, hear what the learners had to say and listen to professional educators and psychologists explain the changes which occurred in the learners after attending this program.

What learners had to say:

The young adults inspired destiny course was literally the most amazing experience of my life. Those 10 or so hours felt like minutes and sent my mind reeling with all the opportunities this life has, will and continues to present me.

Dr John Demartini has shown me that I, Victoria Ann van Basten, can accomplish anything and everything I put my mind to. At the tender age of 15 I have been let into a world where the sky is the limit, where the futures are bright and where the dreams are colourful and blooming with hope. I can see now how I am a genius and how I apply my wisdom as I have placed these wise words into my daily routine.  I feel that after attending such an amazing workshop I have a head start during my time on this huge and difficult planet, something which is truly irreplaceable.

Thank you all so much. I honestly cannot express my gratitude in writing. . . . If I were with you right now I would have to give you a giant hug.

Victoria Ann van Basten
