I changed my mind about "going away to Mexico , and killing myself." I've learned "to appreciate things in life."

I discovered "that I was not alone. A lot of other people were having the same situations as me. I learned that we must first work out a plan from a situation then act upon it to be rid of the problem. No action, provides no resulting solution."

After participating in the class I changed my mind about "ever doing drugs."

"Setting goals was important to me, because it got me organized and I got higher grades. I knew what I needed to do next."

Setting goals was useful to me because "it gives me something to wake up in the morning for. I know I need a good education to achieve my goals. If I had no goals I would not care about school, or be responsible."

I changed my mind about "how easy the real world looks. It showed me that in real life there will always be mistakes and not always will it be easy."

The lesson that I liked the best was "Problem Solving " because "I have learned I can do other things than just fighting."

[In the "blind walk" I learned that] "I'm always thinking of me first. When I had to help the other one, they came first more. I couldn't just let them fall down."

The lesson that I liked the best was "decision making" because "I was able to choose the right options in my everyday life."

The most important lesson has been "Never quit even though you are having problems [with] what you are doing. Just keep going and try the best as you can to reach that goal."
