Student Testimonials
"One day, one of my friends wanted me
to skip classes with her that day. After hearing the message that
morning, I decided not to."

"I've learned that we all have choices. We make choices. We make choices to do bad or right. I like that [Project
Wisdom] talks about love and not hate."
3rd

"Project Wisdom has helped me because
it makes me think twice before doing something wrong."

to the messages we can represent our school in a good way and we can get along better and have more fun."

around me, and made me more dedicated to service."

It makes us feel better. I used to think I was big and bad, but
after hearing the messages I have mellowed."
7th grader
"Project Wisdom has really changed my
school life, academically and socially. Last year I was struggling
and could not seem to pull my educational weight. I could not seem
to help myself from getting into some kind of conflict, physically,
mentally, and/or verbally. This year Project Wisdom has really changed
me. I am more open, I speak to people, and I make better grades.
I can truthfully say that Project Wisdom is part of why I am adjusting
well in school this year."

"Some students have family problems,
but hearing the words of wisdom in the morning helps them feel that
they are not alone. It helps them feel safe and secure. It helps
me believe in myself and be unique in my own special way."
11th grader
"I almost feel like I have a second parent
who is reminding me to do what is right. I think it has really helped
everybody think and rethink what we do before we do it."
8th grader
"The students have become more ethical,
positive, and self-motivated as a result of the 'Words of Wisdom'
program each morning. We are encouraged to help people out when
they need a hand. We also try to look at bad situations as learning
experiences rather than as failures. We have discovered that the
only way to achieve our dreams is to go out and work hard for them."
