JRC taught me things that no other school could ever possibly teach me! JRC taught me about the heart and courage to stand up for what I think is right. They taught me the most important elements in life are to always remember to be polite, courteous, kind, obedient, thoughtful and a gentleman. As amazing as it seems, this is all truly and honestly what they really taught me and I am proud that I was able to learn it.

JRC taught me the importance of choosing the right diet to be on. At one point I weighed 180 pounds and I thought I was fat. When I came to JRC they introduced me to a healthy diet. I lost an incredible 20-30 pounds! I’ll admit, at first I hated the food because I loved meat. After I watched the eating videos I learned that if I ate a healthy diet for 3-4 weeks I would start to love it. So, I decided to give the new lifestyle a chance.

Loosing the weight built up my self-esteem and took my attitude to a whole new positive level that I could never have imagined when I was overweight. When I was overweight I could never look at myself in the mirror without thinking I was fat. I was afraid that, because of my appearance, no one would like me. Now, I am proud of my new healthy lifestyle and my appearance when I look in the mirror.
