Van Buren High School

2023-24

  • This class has made me realize that I need to make some changes in my life when it comes to relationships and my body.  I do want to say thank you because this has really helped me.  😊

  • It made me realize how important I really am and how I need to set my life standards.

  • This week I’ve learned quite a bit with your help.  I’ll try to save things for later on in life and be careful with who I am around online and in real life.  I’ll try to improve my mental health and set some attainable goals.  Thank you!

  • I was possibly thinking about doing sex when I got into college and was in a relationship but after this week it made me want to wait till marriage.

  • It helped me learn how to change negative things in my life when the need arises.

  • This class has taught me to stand up for myself, not let any relationship ruin my mental state, and don’t let others manipulate me.

  • It showed me that what happened in my past is not my fault.  And that it’s okay TO WAIT till marriage to have sex again.

  • Served to remind me of the promise I made to work on my mental health after years of extreme depression.

  • I’ve realized that there is more ahead to life than what has happened in the past.  You really have opened my eyes to a new version of what the future can be.

  • This class has impacted me by making me take a step back in my self doubts and what I should and should not be focusing on in life.

  • This class/week has taught me how to protect myself emotionally, physically, and mentally.  It’s taught me how to not just give up on myself and has taught me my worth.  It also taught me I don’t need the physical part of a relationship to feel loved.

  • I’ve let people treat me very badly because I’m afraid of being alone but this has given me more confidence that I don’t really need people that can’t respect me in my life.

  • I am struggling with an addiction.  Thank you for educating me on its effects and ripples.  You drive me to keep on going.

  • This class made me feel better and more safe.  This class also opened up a new mind for me and makes me want to think more and more about decisions I make in the future.

  • It has influenced me to be a better person and to wait to have sex.  And to most definitely stop smoking.  Thank you so much for coming to our school!

  • This class was like a week of therapy for me.  I could tell you are here because you care.  You didn’t just help educate us, but you shared true wisdom and taught this class in a way not everyone can replicate.  I have definitely thought and questioned myself this week because of you.  You make a difference in the world and I appreciate you.  Thank you.

  • It’s made me think about my self respect and how I should think.  Thank you for helping me realize my self worth and that I don’t just need to be having sex just to do it.

  • There were things that I was worried about, things that I didn’t understand about myself.  But now I feel better than before.  This is my time to face the things that won’t go away.

  • Made me realize that I can change some habits and try to become a better version of myself. 

  • It’s been kind of an escape.  A moment to be real and honest.  It’s been a lot of amazing information that has helped confirm and validate my choice to not have sex or to not use any kind of substance.  Thank you Mr. Pratt!

  • I believe this class has helped me to make better life choices and improve myself.  What we learned about sex and adjusting your relationships sounded beneficial for me.

  • This class has changed my outlook on life and possibly stopped many people from making mistakes they would have regretted.  This class will help me to get through difficult times by knowing how to control my emotions.

  • It has made me think on my current/past life choices and relationships.  How to do things differently and hot to better myself.  It’s made me realize that this time right now isn’t what it’s all about and I have a great future ahead.

  • This week I’ve learned so much about the brain and how decisions impact my life.  I not know how to handle certain situations.  I’ve made a commitment to live my life making good decisions.

  • This class has been very helpful in helping me understand who I am.  It has given me self awareness and made me aware of habits.  I’m in a very happy relationship and I worry a lot.  Thank you for helping me let go of certain things.

  • This class has opened my eyes to what has been going through my life.  Before I never really saw it, but you’ve allowed me to see how to fix what needs fixed and what to stay away from.
