What Students Are Saying
“I’ve removed masks. I’ve set goals. Five Star has changed my life. I strive to live a 5starlife. I never used to work or do chores, now I actually have goals…I’ve changed. I’ve been through peer pressure. I know how hard it is. 5star has stopped me from saying yes to those things! Thanks 5star!” -Five Star Student
“The most helpful thing I’m going to leave with is knowing that if I set my mind to do something, I can accomplish it. I started the year off with D’s & F’s, but now I have A’s, B’s, and C’s, thank you.” – Megan
“You have helped me in my life so, so, so, much I am fully healed and I feel brand new all over again because when I 1st came to 5star I was depressed everyday & sometimes thought, “Why am I alive??” Then, the last week in 5star I feel just totally reborn and like I belong on this earth again.” – Dianne
“Five Star has helped change my thoughts, which has helped change my life. I doubted I would like Five Star when the counselor signed me up but now -it’s a great thing that has helped me. I will leave 5star this year as a person who thinks differently about things and now I make choices.” – Kyra
“I love everything about it. I look back to when I wasn’t in Five Star and it’s just all a blur. I can’t imagine my life without it. I can’t wait until the day comes that I can actually be a coach and make an impact on someone’s life. All I have to say is thank-you so much for changing my life.” – Amanda
“The thing that has really stood out for me this season is that I can go to school in the morning and be myself all day everyday. Since 4th grade I have always thought that there was something wrong with me or my family, but now I realized that that is who I am and I shouldn’t want to just try to hide it and act like the person that I’m not.” – Micah
“Thanks for the help because now I can control my anger against other people. You have made my life great.” – Brett
“The thing that helped me the most are the coaches. They have helped me with my grades, attitude, and etc.! I really love them. They have also showed me who I really am.” – Kathlyne
“If 5star hadn’t been there, I don’t think I would be here. I have learned to do what’s right no matter what & be myself. I’ve heard it several times but without 5star there to really get me involved in the right things, these values would mean nothing. Thank you so much.” – Sara
“I used to be isolated, quiet, hiding in the shadows, and insecure. Now I’m more open. I spend more time with my family, and now I don’t care what others think, it’s what I think of myself that matters. This has helped me a lot. My life matters. I’m designed for greatness. I am Five Star!” – Alyssa
“You have impacted my life in great ways, I have learned that my life matters, and I am a champ.” -Tori
“I learned that being a little different is a good thing.” – BB
“Thank you so much for another great season. Before, I couldn’t tell anybody anything about my feelings, kinda like the Superman mask. But now, thanks to all of the great people at 5-star I can almost tell anyone. I finally took off the last layer of my Superman mask, and cried today. Thanks so much.” – Kaitlin
“This year I have learned how building people up is better than bringing them down. Sometimes it’s better to stand for what is right not what other people think is right. Also, I learned that if we set goals and sacrifice what we want to get closer then we’ll be set for life.” – Jonathan
“For the rest of my life I will keep everything I have learned in Five Star in my life. But the most important thing I have learned is my life matters. I will do great things in my own way because I am different. I am me, the number one champion and I am not alone.” – Wendy
