APPLICATION

The FCM was a school I never expected to have such a profound impact on my life. Not only did I learn so much about the inner workings of myself, but I also learnt how other people work, as well as how my relationship with God plays out in everyday life. I cried, I laughed, and I learned. I grew in relationship with God and myself. I do not regret doing this school at all, and encourage others to try it out.
