·         I have become more responsible with things that I do.

·         My family is very interested in hearing me talk about scuba and seem to be more interested in what I am doing than before STARS.

·         My family supports me and shows me that they are proud of what I am doing and that means a lot to me.

·         I don’t think this program is helping much with the relations within my family.

·         Things at home have gotten better and I have been talking more with my parents.

·         I have been getting along with my sisters and it has increased our family communications, we are acting more like a family and don’t argue as much.

·         My relationship and communications with my family have been getting better.

·         They (my family) are always asking me what it’s like dangerous, fun?

·         I love when they (my family) ask about scuba diving, I love telling my family about it.

·         I am having a better relationship with my family, we communicate much better.

·         I have been more responsive to things my parents ask me to do.

·         My parents are proud of me for keeping up with the program in parallel with my work and school studies.

·         It has brought be closer to my parent (Dad) and I honestly don’t know why, but it really has.

·         My mom is crankier because she cannot yell at me as much.

·         My Dad is happier because I am no longer a couch potato.
