Eliminate most of that stress while nurturing my curiosity and need to explore everything
August 22, 2023by: Arielle BitelProgram: Australia Summer Program | Pacific DiscoveryMy instructors guided me to become a more laid back person. My home environment is incredibly high energy and stressful, and I learned through Pacific Discovery that I have the power to eliminate most of that stress while nurturing my curiosity and need to explore everything. I have the power to shape my own life, and that, to me, is a ground-breaking realization.
