Reflective Questions:
- What words of wisdom would you give to a community just starting a program like Horizons?
Be patient, the Horizons Project has great potential, but it does take hard work and dedication.
- Words of warning?
Be prepared for people to be negative and not exactly see that what you are doing has potential.
- What kind of changes in their community and its leadership might they expect?
They can expect for leadership to come full circle because this program provides the tools necessary to accomplish whatever you feel needs to be done. This program I feel is also a self-esteem booster to those who are not used to being in the leadership positions.

- What kind of changes in themselves might they expect?
I feel that they can expect a huge amount of change if they are open to it. Like I said before, it is a self-esteem booster among other things. From my own personal experience, I feel that I have grown a lot. I have always been a leader, never a follower, however most times when I would come upon the “brick walls of life” I would back down because I would be unsure as to how to proceed, now I have no excuse for backing down. There is always a way to get done what you want to get done, you just have to step back and look at the bigger picture, you also have to be willing to ask for help, and you definantly have to be patient. I also tend to get really nervous when talking to groups, I think I always will, however it is not so bad now, and I feel that a lot of that has to do with being part of Horizons, and getting plenty of practice.
