WHAT WILL RESH 180 DO ?
RESH 180 will improve the academic and personal success of students by empowering them with skills to acknowledge their assets, gain personal responsibility, maximize personal and educational goals, and guide them in discovering and fulfilling their life purpose. RESH 180 challenges students thought processes and initiates a self-directed inward examination to become aware of his or her direction in life, and progress toward related goals. RESH 180 teaches students to examine themselves inwardly, to see whether or not they have moved or grown in a direction that will lead to a purposeful, meaningful life. With this newfound awareness, students are then taught to examine the inputs, influences and effects that have brought them to the life situations they are in today. Next, they are taught a new way to interpret the factors that influence their lives. The analogy of a “lens” is used to demonstrate how to “make their eyes work.” Finally, RESH 180 teaches students to be accountable for their actions, and also gives them empowerment tools to practice what they have learned.
