Simone Pullar-Wells
I am sixteen and a year 10 student at the moment,
attending Sophia-Mundi Steiner school in Abbotsford. I live with my Mum, her
friend, and my Dad in Melbourne, Australia. We also have 2 guinea-pigs and 2
fish. I enjoy playing the guitar and keyboard, hanging out with friends,
parties and making things by beading, sewing or knitting, the usual teenager
stuff.
To
tell the truth, I went into the first session not wanting to be there, but
still secretly curious about this course thing. I was impressed at what our
Landmark Forum Leader was proposing of what we could make for ourselves in
our lives, and decided to give it a try. My favourite breakthrough was what I achieved in the Landmark Forum for Teens. I decided I wanted to be more truthful in my life. I was then in my rebellious stage when I spoke lies fluently. It has changed my life completely, earning both respect from my peers, elders, and most importantly, respect from myself. The impact of this course was like putting my hands
directly on the controls of what matters in life. I smiled today as I
received enthusiastic thanks for my honesty and straightforwardness, and
thought quickly about this way of being that comes almost instinctively now,
and I love this. I have taken leadership roles too, nothing special,
just helping organise to meet my friends who live about an hour away, and I
have noticed people really look up to me to help organise things now...
nothing special really. I've done the Advanced Course, the Landmark Seminar
Series, and the SELP. I think my relationships with people would not be
very deep or honest if I had not gone to do these trainings. Throughout
every course I did, I saw people who were obviously going to make a
difference in their lives. I love the openness and the courage it took to
overthrow the social boundaries, that After the Landmark Forum I love the person I am, the
wonderful friends I have made and all the people I have had the pleasure of
meeting since. I am enjoying being busy and unstoppable in life. It tends to change every so often, but this is the possibility I have invented for myself and my life; I am the possibility of honesty, poetry and creation.

Some of the promises of the Landmark Forum For Teens: Expand our ability to see our parents and teachers as partners. Be better to deal with our peer pressure.
See ourselves as someone who counts in our family and in society. See opportunities to break through self-imposed limitations, perceptions and assumptions about ourselves.
Begin to distinguish between how we present ourselves and who we really are. Become aware that we can make a difference in our own life and in the lives of others.
