Yalonda Colbert
Principal of PPS Obama
As the Principal of PPS Obama, my seniors became more aware of how their actions impact others and not just themselves. One student in particular learned the importance of prioritizing life events in order to be a person of integrity by upholding his word to be present at an important event. I’m speaking about Jason, having to choose from helping his grandfather repair his aunt’s driveway or staying after school to get some insights from an elite collegiate volleyball player. He said he didn’t want to miss the experience ,but he chose not to attend the clinic because he gave his word that he would be there to help his grandfather. This is HUGE because so many of our children (and adults if we are being honest) base their decisions on how they feel which is so damaging to one’s growth. I look forward to having a lot more of our boys go through the program over the years.

Effectively Framing Behavioral Change
When it comes to creating behavioral change in people, it is critical that you frame the system in the right manner. When people are given something that they did not have to work for, they tend to not value it as much as they should.
To identify quantifiable outcomes, we then had each young man take the Maximizer Assessment. This 81 question assessment provides an analysis of their 21 character strengths or what we call virtues, which is reflective by how they behave and function in all areas within their lives. This assessment was also given again at the end of the program.
