The document discusses self-discovery and defining success. It provides activities for participants to reflect on influences in their lives, values they were taught, and their own definition of success. Participants identify mentors at different ages and what was admired about them. Small groups then analyze magazine portrayals of success and values. In the last section, participants define what success means to them, how current behaviors prevent achieving it, and identify one action to make progress.
