The Longest road

Gunhild Walde Mikkelson has worked as a teacher and councilor at the high school level for many years. The last ten to fifteen years she has seen a change in the younger generation. No longer carefree and believing in themselves, more and more they are filled with apprehension and worry about the future. The pressure to perform and be successful have them doubting themselves. The struggle for “the truth” about one’s self and about the world take place in the minds of every human. Which perspective one chooses and how one deals with external events is crucial for how we cope with ourselves, the external world and becoming our own person.
