Thomas Barlow

At the end of the course Thomas had a spell of being very negative and depressed. Now back at school not only his teachers, but all his friends have noticed an amazing change. Although it is still his first week at school he has not been negative at all.

Thomas himself hopes the negativity he showed at the end of the course was a blip and won't show itself again. He talked about wanting to succeed at school and in life, and has strong desires and clear goals to get his own business and succeed in life. The girls he knows have said he is more open and easier to talk to. He has grown up and matured a lot. Everyone noted he was keener to ask questions in class, not shying away as he did in the previous year, and seems much happier and more confident. Thomas himself said he thinks everyone has problems and there isn't a person in the world that wouldn't benefit from the course (including Kate!).
