Looking back with a smile

Monday morning. Project day at a secondary school. 17 pupils have opted for the consolidation module "Decide to be happy!" under the project horizon "navi4life". We will work with them in a team of two for 200 minutes. At the beginning of our lesson, I let the young people aged 16-17 know that we have only come to offer them help to find their way in life. Then I add: "I want you, when you are as old as I am, to be able to look back on your life and be as happy as I am, because life is a gift and a task, it is the greatest gift we have been given." In the evening, I read the evaluation forms: "Thank you for sharing so many personal details about yourselves. That helped me a lot. I now know that I want to try out and dare many things in my life so that I can look back on my life with a smile at the end of it."
