David seemed to have a lot of anxiety about being “out of school”.  I was concerned that David would get discouraged making the leap from high school to college (without the support system he had up to that point) and give up.   Our goals for him were to take a few classes at Collin College, get a job, and develop the skills he needed to be out on his own someday. 

David seemed to feel a lot less anxiety having a solid plan and was looking forward to learning more real life skills.  He had graduated from The Saint Anthony School, so there was the added benefit of some familiar faces he trusted.  He quickly discovered that even the new faces at Momentum were to be some of his favorite people. 

David has made huge leaps in maturity.  He has done well in his college classes (taking advantage of his Momentum resources) and has gained confidence and that is a  huge win for us!  He has also started taking initiative at home and helping out without being asked!!

The Momentum staff has supported me by reinforcing several areas I had been trying to help David develop.   Fitness and nutrition, time management, and follow-through were areas in which we just weren’t making much progress.  They have been able to approach these areas in a way that resonates with David.  This has brought the stress level in our home down a notch or two.
