“Before Reaching Higher, I felt my emotions were very powerful, but it was hard to control them, and I needed to get the stress off my shoulders. Reaching Higher has improved my life by helping me channel those emotions for good, and it really helped me to calm down and not overthink things.”

—Nolan, Reaching Higher Graduate [Three Fires Elementary, Howell]

“It made me realize how much life I was missing out on, and it made me more thankful for myself, for having the strength that allows me to be where I am today. Reaching Higher has allowed me to become more accepting of myself and others, and to remember to never take anything for granted.”

—Sarah, Reaching Higher Graduate [South Lyon East High School]

“Throughout Reaching Higher I’ve been exposed to a lot of people that I’ve known but not REALLY known, and it really makes you think about what your friends are going through. It gets you a deeper understanding of yourself. It teaches coping mechanisms and leadership skills that I am going to use for the rest of my life, and I highly recommend it to anybody out there.”

—Gabe, Reaching Higher Graduate [South Lyon High School]
