# April Student Spotlight

EmpowerU is thrilled to celebrate the positive change students are able to make by applying what they learn in our course to their daily lives. ***Each month we will highlight one specific student to share their story about how they have been empowered to make improvements to their mental health and well-being with the support of their EmpowerU coach!***

How did this course help you make personal change? 

This course helped me identify my habits that get in my way of reaching goals. It also helped me understand how I react to things in ways that are not healthy.  It also made me think about the type of friend I want to be and the type of friends I need to surround me. Overall it made me very self aware.

Now that I am self aware I can work to change all the things I realize don't align with my values.

What is your greatest improvement or gain from EmpowerU?

I used to think that I had no control over my emotions,  but EmpowerU has helped me realize I actually do! I am now more focused and calm.

Is there anything else you'd like to share about how EmpowerU impacted your life?

I'm sad that this course is over. I really enjoyed it and learned so much! I wanna give you my coach a big thank you for all of her feedback.  I know I didn't always reply but I read them and really appreciated it all.

I wasn't expecting this course to be so personal but it was -- and I loved that it was! It really made me feel more comfortable to open up, because I actually had someone listening to me.
