Luxuria Has Gained Confidence in Herself and Her Abilities

Luxuria Gains Confidence
Dear Laurent, Don, Kandace, Michael, Sarah, Ted and Pam, Rao, Pradeep, Michael, and Trish,

Luxuria has been attending TEAM-WORKS since the beginning of this school year. When Luxuria first came to TEAM-WORKS, she was really withdrawn and hid behind a thick coat of make-up and black lipstick. With the help of the Strong Character curriculum, Luxuria was able to come out of her shell, little by little, as she gained confidence in herself and what she had to say. With the help of TEAM-WORKS staff, Luxuria was able to state her dreams and set goals for her future.

Several weeks into the program, Luxuria became an active participant in the character lessons, and she is no longer as hesitant to participate in the Strong Body part of the curriculum. The self-confidence she has gained in herself is very apparent in the way she interacts with her peers and with staff members. She now enters the room with an un-lipsticked smile and greets us with a wave. Luxuria had the following to say about the TEAM-WORKS program: “TEAM-WORKS can be helpful with the homework support, encouragement, and keeping you on the right track on being one of the TEAM-WORKS members.”

As a result of your generosity, Luxuria will have a chance at continued growth and success.
