"I learned to believe in myself and to not give up on myself when I don't think I can do something. It helped me overcome my fears of trying new things. This is a good and excellent program that has taught me a lot of reliability and responsibility."
"The program has taught me a lot of anger skills. I learned not to lose control. It makes my day much better because I look forward to going there. It motivates me to get through the day very nicely. It is helping me a lot because I do not get mad as much."
