Role Models Textbook Testimonials

I have always thought of myself as a good person, but after taking this class I know I can be better. I loved having the opportunity to learn about all of the people who have done great things in life. I know that I would have never known about the role models written in the leadership book if I hadn’t taken the class. It is an inspiring book…

Former student

It helps a lot more in life than any other class, and I see a direct improvement in my character as a result of taking this class.

Former student

This class has made a positive difference in almost everyone around me! I love this class.

I found your book to be very inspirational and interesting. I don’t think I have read more than 5 books in my life from front to back. I am not a huge fan of reading but I did find myself becoming very interested in your book and reading about individuals with good character. I was planning on going out and buying the book just because it would be nice to have around.

Former student

I think what you are doing with the class and the curriculum is great. I am not a big fan of school but I can tell you that I look forward to going to my character class every day. I have learned more in two semesters in character class than any class I have ever been in. I can say that at least as our school goes, your program works very well. I think what you’re doing is very noble and you should be very proud of what you have done. Good luck and keep pushing your program, I know it will positively affect many young adults such as myself.

I am one of the students at Aplington-Parkersburg High School involved in the Character Leadership class derived from your materials. I wanted to send you my gratitude for everything you have done for us as a class and me as an individual. The fact that you made the long commute just to visit with us to help improve your course materials shows your dedication to your work. The world needs more unselfish people like you. What I am most thankful for though, is how you have changed my life personally. You have helped me back onto the path of life on which I want to travel on. I can feel myself changing into the man I want to become and for that I cannot thank you enough.

This class has really helped me work on my leadership skills and presenting in front of the class has made me more vocal in sports. Now I try to lead other people in the right direction. This is one of the most influential classes I have ever taken; it has changed the way I think about things.

Former student

I would rate this class a 10 because it has shown me so much. It has taught me how to do and act on so many things. It has also taught me how to become the person I want to be, which is a great leader who can make a difference. It has made me realize where I have been wrong on things and helped me change them.

Former student

This class has taught me a lot about using good judgment and using good character. It has shown me what kind of person I can be and what kind of person I should be.

Former student

This is class has opened my eyes to see what character really is about. I have been able to look on the inside of myself, and learned a lot about myself, and others as well. This class is probably the most rewarding class anybody could ever take because it will help you forever, when you might not use the academics as much as you would character.

Former student

This class has helped me by lowering my suspensions to only 1 from 10+.

Former student

When I started this class I was on the road to no success. After this class, I looked at things in a completely different way. I no longer smoke pot And I have cut down a lot with drinking alcohol. I have also got a $10,000 scholarship so that I can become a teacher. Over all this class has had a great effect on my life.

Former student

I found this class to be very refreshing and encouraging. Most of my other classes seem boring when compared to this class, because this class teaches us principles that we can immediately apply to our everyday life.

Former student

While taking this class I have not only learned to better myself, but I have made an impact on one persons life due to what I have learned. I helped to guide one individual down the right path in return I saw a great outcome? Thank you for this class it is really changing the world one person at a time.

Former student

You learn a great deal about good character and about strong role models. I love the stories. By far reading the book is the best homework ever!

Former student

This class makes you actually think more than most of my academic classes.

Former student

It is a class that you can actually sit and talk about the problems you have and what has happened and you get both positive and negative feedback from your peers but it teaches you a lot.

Former student

It helps to build people’s character. When this class started most people in it had a pretty bad character and a lot of them have changed, me included.

Former student

This class makes you think twice before you might hurt someone, and always makes you try to do the ethical thing, versus the easy thing.

Former student

This class has taught me that even during the hardest times you can over come something. Also with good character you can become a successful person if you believe enough in your self and dream big.

Former student

I enjoy this class and I would recommend this class to my friend’s because I’ve grown as a person.

Former student

I thought this class got us started on the right foot for high school.

Former student

In the last month or two I have quit smoking marijuana. I found that there was no need for it in my life. It just got in the way of my life by confusing me.

Former student

This class taught me the true meaning of making wise choices in my life. I have become a man that is more mature and is putting things into effect, instead of just going with the flow. Before this class I would ‘dog out’ girls, but now I try to talk good to them and respect them.

Former student

As most people in this class know, I quit football last year. If I would have took this class last school year then it would have influenced me to make the right decision, to stay out there and play.

Former student

I think this class should be taught all over the U.S. because everyone can improve on their character no matter how good they think that their character is. This class is very necessary for all males. I loved it and I am glad that I took the course.
