"Three weeks of school have gone by and many of the staff here said it was one of the smoothest openings they can remember. No doubt your efforts during our Jumpstart program was a key component of this success. Currently, I am working with the district curriculum coordinator to see how best we can implement more of your goal setting program. Thanks again for your help!"
- Robert O'Brien,
Principal, David Prouty Reg. High School
"Thank you for coming to see us the other day. What you talked about really sunk in. I used to be in a gang and we used to get in trouble all the time. We were running from the cops, getting in fights and much more stuff like that. The exact day you talked to me I noticed I needed to change. I got out of the gang and started hanging out with my old friends and started to focus more on school and my education. I would like to be an FBI Agent when I grow up and thanks to you, I know I need an education to do so. Last night I went home and made some goals. The goals I made were to get As and Bs and stay out of trouble. I feel proud of myself already." - Ryan, 8th grade
"Hi, I want to thank you for coming into SHRHS and giving the assemblies to my freshmen class. It actually helped me out. My goal was to pass this special class in Karate, and by training for it by using your worksheets, I passed the class! Without you helping me I don't think i would have been able to pass :( , but I did! Thanks for helping me to manage my time better. I had no idea how much time I was wasting on video games. I think I'll put one hour into studying and one hour into training for karate. My new goal is to get invited to test for black belt." - Carlin, 9th grade
