Olivia Shares About BTS 2015

When I was asked to join the Pathways to Success for Youth team this year I had no idea what to expect. However, I accepted the invitation and kept a very open mind to what I was about to experience. 

Our week long training at Breakthrough to Success with Jack Canfield was eye opening. I am grateful to be able to develop such important life skills at such a young age. I have gained important tools and perspective that will help shape me as a person. I am ready to use the principles I learned from this seminar as I take the next step towards my dreams. 

I cannot thank my team members enough for not only being there for this experience but also for letting me be myself every step of the way. A huge thank you to Trisha Jacobson, the founder of the Pathways to Success for Youth Project, and Mikayla Cerney, the Pathways to Success Team Leader, for giving me the chance to travel to Arizona and experience the importance of the Success Principles first hand. I am honored and grateful for not only all I've learned, but for all of the beautiful people that I got to meet in the process. 

The Success Principles will change lives for the better.  I look forward to helping others along their way as the team moves forward with the larger vision.

I am 19 and a sophomore at Keene State College with a double major in Journalism and Holocaust and Genocide Studies. I work full time as an editor for my college's newspaper, The Equinox, and want to become a journalist after I graduate. I hope to use my writing skills and further knowledge with genocide to change problems that I am passionate about not only in this country, but around the world. ~Olivia Belanger
