In her own words ... Now I spend less time in the Principal's Office, more time as a classroom leader

Ve'nessa
Victoria Elementary

“My name is Ve’nessa. I’m in the fifth grade. I am very smart and kind at most times. I’m usually tense and angry. THINK Together has helped me be more controlling over my urges to fight back. THINK has also helped me to be less angry and tense at simple and stupid things.

My Program Leader talks to me a lot. She also gives me an opportunity to be a classroom leader so that I can showcase my responsibility. I like being in front of a crowd. I like being a Program Leader Assistant. My Program Leader lets me share my feelings with her which I can’t always do at home. Sometimes my friends at THINK make me feel better when I get in a bad situation. My Program Leader and Site Coordinator help me to make better choices. Now that I have been in THINK Together, I spend less time in the Principal’s office.”
