Bentley’s ROX Story
Bentley has shown tremendous growth in ROX. She has learned how to set healthy boundaries with her friends in order to continue her personal growth.
She has also allowed herself to be open—both in feeling and sharing—which has helped her reflect and receive support from her peers and from me as the ROX Facilitator.
Watching her behavior shift and seeing her desire to grow both academically and emotionally has been such a bright light, not only for me to witness but especially for her mom.
