Real Stories, Real Impact
Regaining Composure Under Pressure
Whenever I started losing in a tennis match, I used to get angry and lose focus. After using the “exiting the high-stress zone” strategy, I no longer stay stuck and can quickly regain my composure. I have made several comebacks and eventually won both the match and the tournament.
Mastering Public Speaking
I applied the PRESTO technique of public speaking to our presentation at the science fair, and we ended up receiving the judges’ award.
Managing Time, Managing Stress
Time management has really helped me feel less stressed and frustrated. It has improved my grades, and since my workload was the biggest thing keeping me in my low zone, time management has helped me stay out of that negative state.
Goal-Setting for Steady Progress
​ I used to study only when I felt like it, but after learning about goal-setting, I now follow a daily schedule. This has reduced my stress since my workload is spread out over the entire week.
Building Connections with Ease
Frolific helped me change the perception of the world and how I viewed social interactions. I always thought that being able to express yourself was in your genes. But now I know it can be learned. I would not have as many friends as I do now if I had not learned what I did at Frolific.
Turning Criticism into Opportunity
I used to get annoyed when I received criticism. For DECA mock auditions, a high schooler grading me was very harsh and gave me a lot of suggestions for improvement. I decided to accept her feedback assertively, and as a result, I qualified for the state-level competition.
Driving Innovation in the Classroom
I had a history project. Usually, I would have started it right away, but this time I sat down and thoroughly examined the rubric to understand what it was asking for. I redefined the prompt using design thinking and revised my project multiple times. I ended up earning a 101!
Conquering the Stage
​ I used to lack confidence when presenting; I was nervous and scared of public speaking. After learning about presentation skills at Frolific, my presentations have become more engaging and fun. Last week, I was chosen to introduce a band at my school concert. My band director recognized my presentation skills, calling my introduction the most fun and energizing.
Resilience On The Field
I was struggling in a cricket match and not performing well. Normally, I would let it affect my game and continue playing poorly. But after learning how to manage my emotions instead of letting them control me, I was able to shift my focus. I turned things around, going from 8 runs off 16 balls to scoring 42 runs in 30 balls.
Turning Setbacks into Strengths
Before, I would blame myself for bad test grades and remain stuck until the feeling passed. In this class, I learned to recognize the “my fault trap” and how to exit it. Now, if I get a bad test grade, I focus on studying harder for the subject.
Applying Creative Thinking to Science
I applied the principles of design thinking to my HL IB Biology project by first empathizing with my teacher’s expectations. Instead of taking the instructions at face value, I asked detailed questions to clarify what they were looking for. This deeper understanding allowed me to tailor my submission, ultimately earning me an additional 10 points on my grade.
Navigating High School
I have been a student of Frolific for the past three years. Frolific really gave me an edge in high school. I got all the tools to navigate the stress of high school and peer pressure. I was able to help others do that as well. I was even awarded for my positive impact!
Way Beyond What Schools Teach!
The best thing I have noticed in my daughter since she started Frolific is her ability to 'respond', to any positive or negative stimulus, rather than 'react'. As a medical professional I’m a true witness to what can happen when people don’t have the right mindset to handle life as it unfolds. Frolific is an amazing and a hard to find program! This is an education that cannot be achieved from attending a regular or Ivy League school.
Resilience, Optimism, and an Award to Prove It!
“My daughter received the Outstanding Student Award at South Forsyth Middle School. We've noticed a significant change in her resilience and optimism since she started attending Frolific. This award is yet another testament to how Frolific has improved her quality of life."
