“Roads to Success has helped me be safer around my friends. It is teaching me that when other people need help that I should help them. I have helped my whole group and I feel really good after helping them even though I don’t get rewarded. I feel that when you do a good deed that is the reward.” – Athena ( 3rd Grade Future Leader )
