A few weeks ago, my son brought home a new friend from school. Claudia is an outgoing 15 year old Scientologist who just arrived from Ecuador for an exciting opportunity. . She is living with a local family for one year while she attends a school that uses L. Ron Hubbard's study technology. Its been a pleasure getting to know Claudia and hearing her story and seeing her enthusiasm. As a bonus, she liked my blog and agreed to participate. The wins and viewpoints of Scientology kids seem to be pretty universal, and not dependent upon what country they are from!
Here is our interview:
Sandy: How did your family come to be Scientologists?
Claudia: When my dad was a teenager, his entire family was living in the United States because my grandfather was a consulate working here. My dad was having teenage type problems. My grandfather sent him to many places to get him sorted out, but these places failed with my dad. Then my dad met a Scientologist, and was introduced to the subject. He decided to go to Flag (the advanced organization of Scientology in Florida). This worked out for my dad, and things sorted out between him and my grandfather.
Here is something funny- my parents met because of Scientology. My dad had become an auditor (councelor) and my mom was having some health problems like chronic tonsillitis and she was referred to my dad for auditing. After a particular interview that locates sources of stress and handles them, the chronic tonsillitis of my mom had dissapeared.
Sandy: Do you have a favorite L. Ron Hubbard datum or piece of tech?
Claudia: From The Way to Happiness: "Try to treat others as you would want them to treat you", because that is the way that you can see how things that you do and say effect others.
Sandy: Can you tell me a little bit about your personal goals?
Claudia: I love to express myself by dancing, acting, drawing, and more artistic things, but now my goal is to finish school and get the best education. That's why I came here, to study in a school thqt uses Hubbard's study technology. I want to finish my school with the best preparation for the University.
Sandy: What Scientology courses have you taken so far?
Claudia: Communication for Children, Personal Values and Integrity, Ups and Downs in Life, Learning How to Learn, The Basic Manual of Study, and the Student Hat. I've had auditing from the book Self Analysis.
Sandy: What service did you like the most?
Claudia: The study technology courses, because they help me in school. At my age, the majority of teenagers hate school and they think that a good idea will be not having school. That's because of all the misunderstood words and all the problems that the popular education causes. I think the study tech has helped me to see the other part of a school. I can imagine a world without education, it will be a disaster full of ignorant people and all the culture will be lost.
Since I've learned the Study Tech, its helped me to actually understand all the things I'm studying, and to enjoy learning. The courses of communication that I do are helping me to express myself with art, and to study art, I need the tech of how to study. The study tech of L. Ron Hubbard is the best.
Sandy: How are you liking your new school so far?
Claudia: Well, I am one month in school, but I think its is an incredible school. It is not like all the other schools wherein if you fail, you loose a year and that's all you have to do- repeat it without looking and fixing all the holes that you have in the most basic things. At my school, all the steps that are on your program are done until you fully understand each step before going onto the next. That is a part of the study tech of L. Ron Hubbard. When you fully understand every single step, you finish your grade with the best education ever. That is why I like it, and It think my future is ensured with this education.
Sandy: I bet it is! Good luck to you!
