In next week's edition of Currents, we'll give you a detailed recap of the trip, along with more exciting Model UN news that we have in the works!

Wes Robins - "Inner Strength" Presentation
On Friday, March 16, the Brandon Hall community was treated to an enlightening and entertaining talk by Weston Robins. His talk, titled
“Inner Strength: Unleashing the Lightning In Your Bones,”
encouraged students to find their own inner strength and their own purpose for living to better manage any pain that they may be feeling in their life. He touched on many of his own experiences, and how a love of music and connecting with others became an outlet for him in dealing with struggles throughout this life.
Wes is a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice who works with children, adolescents, adults and families, and has an extensive clinical background. In addition to his private practice work, he is completing a PhD in Consciousness and Society at the University of West Georgia where he is researching addiction and youth development.
