There has been a boy who I like very much. I used to think that I wouldnt mind risking my future for him. When we learned about STDs and goal setting, I realized how much I would lose if I did anything with him. I am way too young to through my dreams away and my body to someone who doesnt care about me. I love my life and I dont want to change it. I also learned about integrity and honesty. It is extremely important to display those things. For the past three years I have learned so much. I dont want this to be my last year but I know, I know I have enough information to last a lifetime.This class has taut me how to be abstinent and helped me be a better person, to myself and everyone else. And also helped me understand that I have value.This class had a major impact on my life. I have been tempted in the past to have sex and have been tempted to say yes but I didnt because I was scared of both his parents and mine. Now I am thankful that I said no because I know of so many things that couldve happened. I also learned that condoms are not completely reliable. Before I thought that I would be completely safe but I now know that I was incorrect. This class has had such an impact on my life. I believe that everything that I do I life will affect my body either in a good way or a bad way. I promise to do my best in life to be the best I can.This past week my emotions have been like a roller coaster. Having someone sit you down and open your eyes to the future ahead of you really makes you think. Everyday I develop who I am more and more this class really made me realize my core values and the faith I have in myself and others. The stories I have heard makes me thankful for my life, but also helped me understand the fact that I need to stay true to myself. Sure I learned about STDs, but this class made a greater impact to my mind and heart about self-worth, love, and my life.This class had a huge impact on my life. I know now what to do with my life, and what choice to pick.This week I have learned to set boundaries and to respect myself and others around me. This class has made a huge impact on me and I now know some things that will also later impact my life. It has given me faith to know that I can say no. No matter what other people say, and if other people do not respect my boundaries I need to stay away from them. I have worth thank you for helping men know that.I've been a pure girl my whole life. And because of reality check I can say no to help me stay pure. I thank you for everything. I also learned of the things STDs can do.I learned its okay to speak up and defend myself. And where boundaries lie. This class also taught me about the risks of having sex, about STDs and pregnancies. I believe that saving myself for marriage and if I forget that, to think about the risks of it before doing anything. But I doubt I will forget. This class has taught me a lot this past week. Thank you. This weeks Reality Check class has impacted me in many ways. I have learned about the emotional and physical consequences of sexual activity and also I have learned about the importance of integrity. Now, I know more about life, setting your own goals, and sticking to them. I have had the goal never have premarital sex a top priority for my life and myself. I have now had that goal for almost 10 years! I know right from wrong. I know that Reality Check has made me realize the true importance of saving my sex and myself for marriage. I thank Reality Check for affirming my beliefs in this! Thank you!Reality Check has been a wonderful opportunity and has enlightened me in many ways. You showed me the true value of abstinence until marriage. Ms. Villanueva was not only a wonderful teacher, but now I consider her a friend .I enjoyed the class and it has caused me to rethink a lot of things. Thank you, Ms. V for teaching this class.This class showed me why staying abstinent is a good thing. It taught me that its not okay to have sex of any kind. This Reality Check has impacted the way I look on life. Through this class I have decided to begin saving myself for marriage. I need to set goals for myself in life and strive for them without any obstacles in my way. I learned that coming out of my comfort zone is sometimes a good thing. Im glad I got a reality check! Thank you all!First off I would like to say thank you for your time, and you have shown me that abstinence means more than saving your sex but that abstinence means that you respect others and that it can save others lives and you have changed mine forever. Thanks again!This class actually made me think about my future. I actually want to be a dentist assistant or nurse. Sometimes I felt as if I am not capable enough to reach these goals. This class has changed my point of view. I can do it if I try and I believe in myself!Well, Reality check has been so beneficial for me since I was in the 6th grade. It has been so much easier to make the right decisions, show integrity, and honesty. I really appreciate this class.I learned the importance of abstinence and saving my sex for marriage. (Which are pretty much the same thing.) I know that just because people around me are doing something like sex, alcohol or drugs doesnt mean that I have to do it. I also learned how to say NO without sounding rude. (Yes, No, Yes)Which will help a lot in my future. Now I know the ENTIRE reason that my mom tells me Have sex after your married! over and over. Honestly I thought that this was going to be an entire waste of time. But, It has been one of the best uses of time that I have had in a while. This class helped me focus on my goals and learn more about what life will bring. I know I will face challenges and will have to make choices that are best for me. My sexuality is personal and mine to save for as long as I want! Thank you for coming here and teaching us. I hope to grow up without making any horrible choices. Thanks again!I learned more about sex and how bad it can change your life forever. I didnt think it would be that bad but I know that I really learned something and what are the consequences can be and how they work.I have thought more about my future and Im going to choose to make the right decisions. You really showed me how important my future and sexuality and all the other stuff, it really is. You taught it well! I really, really, really enjoyed Reality Check.This class helped me to set boundaries about things like sex and alcohol. This will help me live a healthier and stronger future. Clearly, this class impacted my life.In this class I learned a lot that I will use all throughout life. Ive learned how much one bad decision can have an impact on your life. I will never forget what this class taught me.This class impacted me a lot I had fun and learned a lot and I hope you can teach everyone else how much you have taught me and inspired me even more to save myself for marriage and I hope everyone else does too. Thanks so much.This class has impacted me because I learned how to say no with confidence. It also gave me good reason to say no, and tells about all of the risks. It also helped me learn how to set goals and I learned a lot about my mom too.This class has changed me so much. I will not give into peer pressure. I will choose to have kids when Im married! This class has really changed me!!!This class has impacted me by truly opening my eyes and be aware of the decisions that I will one day have to make. (I have already made.) I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to learn about abstinence and making the right choices. Thank you very much!This class has helped me realize that just because I want something right now doesnt mean I should take it or try it. I want to stay abstinent until marriage. I thank the people who made Reality Check and are volunteers and just everybody. I hope that you guys will continue to do this and help other people, but also able to expand to help not just to Arkansas but soon the world. I hope you will teach the people about how to make the right decisions across the world.
