LIFE, DECISIONS & PATHWAYS ( L os Angeles County Boot Camp, 2001)

This presentation, to sixteen minors incarcerated at Camp Vernon Kilpatrick in the Santa Monica Mountains , directly presents to the students the components and processes by which most of their perspectives were created, and successfully challenges the logic of each of the components. Once the students see that the intellectual basis upon which they built their negative perspective is flawed, limitless possibilities spring into existence. Success in life is among the most significant of these possibilities that many students see upon learning this simple, powerful lesson.

The video also addresses decisions regarding drugs and alcohol, with an emphasis on tobacco and marijuana. Rather than approach it from a life death standpoint, students are focused on the internal damage to body organs and deterioration of ability to function due to the tar and poisons of tobacco and marijuana, and the extraordinary economic cost required to sustain these habits. This portion of the presentation is accompanied by the presentation of actual human organs from smokers and nonsmokers to reinforce exactly what is happening inside the body. The organs displayed include the heart, kidneys, lungs and liver.

Video comes with twenty multiple choice questions.

	*LIFE, DECISIONS & YOUR FUTURE* (Edison Academic Center/US Junior World Soccer Team) This lesson presents irrefutable, step by step logic which leads the high school students addressed to one logical conclusion: to be the best you can be requires a commitment to develop your mind to its fullest potential. This is true at all stations of life. The mind creates the eyes through which we see the world and process information, and as such holds the key to our most important skill: decision making. Better minds make better decisions and it is through these decisions that our lives are defined. Realizing full potential as a person however, requires more than simply a commitment to academics and mental development. It means a balanced and healthy life as well. Nutrition, exercise, personal relationships and commitments, hygiene and general cleanliness and organization all contribute to ‘creating’ everyone. We are defined by the totality of our existence, and the critical question is: Who do we want to create ourselves to be as we make the decisions that guide us through life? All of these questions are examined in this video.
