Happy House Successes
Another Good Choice in Action!
These students learned the value of keeping their environment clean, and they took it to heart!

“I learned that I can help my planet look better by just picking up trash around my house.” –J.A.
“Now I know more about why you need to recycle but also we can reuse stuff, it was fun!” –O.V.

Good Choices Graduate Receives Scholarship from LAPD!
This young lady was a graduate of the “good choices” program at age 9! She is now a young adult and just received a scholarship from the LAPD. She and her parents credit the Happy House Good Choices program played an important role in her success. Well done and congratulations, Ms. Contreras!
“I was in the Jr Cadet Program at LAPD Foothill Station participating in the Good Choices program since the age of 9 years old. From this program I learned in many ways to understand good to bad. I learned respect, responsibility, and communication. The knowledge that I obtained led me to where I am now.
Getting help from Ms. Carol helped me a lot; she tutored me and improved my reading and math skills. I’ll always remember the lesson of the “Swiss cheese.” I am now 18 years old, graduating high school with good grades and going to college. I’m thankful to this program because it changed and improved me and showed me that whatever I set my mind to, I can achieve — because I have.
I have been a trainer to several Jr Cadet classes, passing my learning to younger kids in this program. I am an example, since I was once in their shoes, and I show them how this program will lead them to much more.”

More Successes!
“When I learned how to make good choices, I started to be better like happiness, taking care of myself. My life has become better when I did this, my grades got better and I’m happier than before.”
–L.V.
“Getting tutoring from the Happy House tutor has helped me improve my multiplications, divisions, and fractions! But especially how to tell time… Now when I want to check the time I can look at the clock and FINALLY read it!!!”
–K.A.
“Doing Good Choices has helped me look at things differently. I think that I have gotten better at seeing that some situations have more than one solution. For example if you see someone getting bullied or picked on instead of staying quiet you can ask the person why they are picking on the other person.I also know how to be a little more patient with people and treat other people that way you want to be treated because how would you like it if someone treated you badly or said something rude? Last few things I learned was how to take care of myself better like being drug free, eating better and brushing my teeth! I learned a LOT with this program because now I can stop and THINK about what could happen if I make a bad choice!”
–G.A.
