Description
Saluting our students’ leadership skills and academic performance will be the focus of this family event. Wells will share the challenges he faced as an adolescent in inner-city Chicago. Changing his life from one of trouble to one of triumph fuels his dedication to inspiring transformation in students. Wells will offer a blueprint for a happy, healthy and high-functioning life. Teens will be encouraged to set goals, demonstrate resilience when setbacks occur and better understand how their efforts today can lead to future success. Adult participants will learn how to help young people overcome obstacles, reach their potential, use their gifts and achieve their dreams.
To become the best possible version of yourself, you must first align the various parts of your being. The mind, body, and soul must all be in harmony before true health and growth are achieved. Now you can break through any barriers holding you back from the life you dream of living. Reverend Dr. Derrick Wells shares clear insights on how to live an authentic life through practical spirituality.

He believes that there are habits that lead to a happy, healthy, high-functioning life; habits that when put into action make each of us masters of our destiny.
