Reviewing the Landmark Forum
|

Melissa Semcer
I've lived in New Jersey and Florida, but Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is definitely home. I love the smallness of the town combined with the worldliness of its people.
I
first took the Landmark Forum for Teens in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when
I was 17 years old. I had no idea what it was, but I had an Aunt in
Chicago who was going to pay for my flight to Florida, an Uncle in NY
who was going to pay for the course, and an Aunt in Florida with whom I
was going to stay. If all
those people thought I had something to benefit from by taking this
Landmark thing, then I was going to go.
So I did the Landmark Forum for Teens, pretty much left it alone
and forgot all about it
I
got so much out of my Landmark Forum that I immediately signed up for
the Advanced Course, and my mother and I proceeded to take it and the Self
Expression and Leadership Program together. The amazing
thing about it all was that after my mother completed the Landmark
Forum, she told me that she then understood why I was able to accomplish
all that I have. Apparently,
even though I thought I did nothing with my Landmark Forum for
Teens, my mother saw it differently. When
I reviewed the Landmark Forum, I contacted my father with whom I had not
spoken in over a year. Our
relationship over the years was best described as troubled, but there
was a huge part of me that wanted a father to love and support me. It
was in the Advanced Course that the true breakthrough in our
relationship happened. Through
much coaching and a couple of failed phone calls, I truly got the impact
of who I was being in our relationship. I was a gossiping ugly daughter
that dissected his every move and speech to the point that he could not
do anything right! Once I got to see that, our conversation took a
completely different turn down a path it had never gone down before. It
left him truly touched such that he got in his car and came up for
the Tuesday evening of the Advanced Course- a 16 hour drive from
Southwest Florida. Sure, we still have misunderstandings sometimes, just
like every relationship. What makes
a tremendous difference is that now I have a father and he has a daughter.
This breakthrough in relationship would never have happened without
Landmark Education.

I am a 22 year old recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Psychology.
I tried to make the most of my college years by trying almost anything once, immersing myself in a plethora of courses, and making wonderful friendships.
Most people my age are not in any kind of conversation about who they are in their own lives, and I feel fortunate to have found this tool, Landmark Education, at such a young age.
My fellow Landmark graduates tell me that if they had had access to this conversation when they were my age, life would have been completely different. As I'm just starting out in the world, I am inspired by the future of this life that I love. Landmark Forum for Young People and The Carruths.
