True Story of Success: Jessica, 17 Years Old

We visited a LearningRx seminar and brought our daughter, Jessica. Sheis 17 years old. It wasn’t what she wanted to do that evening, butshe came willingly. Jessica did wonder, “Is this where dumb kidsgo?” After watching the presentation and participating in some activities,Jessica said, “Well, I guess I’d do something like this, butI would never go to tutoring.” She saw the program as challengingand liked the idea of competing against herself to pass levels.

We were pleased with the care that was taken to place Jessica with a trainer.We feel her trainer was a great personality match for Jessica, and hertrainer quickly moved Jessica to difficult levels and pushed her throughthem. Jessica’s trainer worked hard with Jessica’s self-confidence,helping her to be sure of herself when giving answers and assuring herthat when things got tough, they were working on areas that were mostimportant.

We are so proud of our daughter. She never complained about coming to LearningRx.Her grades improved almost immediately. She has read a few books and wasvery proud of herself when she completed her first book. This child wouldpreviously do anything possible to get out of reading a book.

We wanted to see a change in Jessica’s confidence in herself. Shewould say many things about being dumb and that she couldn’t goto college because she was dumb. Who would have thought that in six monthsshe would be applying for the “Seniors to Sophomores” programthrough The University of Akron for her senior year of high school? Studentsin this program go to college during their senior year of high school.There hasn’t been a word about feeling dumb. Now she wants to startcollege early! We couldn’t ask for anything more!
