By Jaleb, DePaul Catholic School Healthy Trailblazer Journal | The decisions you make can have an impact on your life whether good or bad. A good decision I’ve made was attending a La Salle College High School summer program. My mom helped me make this decision by encouraging me to attend the program. 

I made this decision in seventh grade to expand my learning and meet new people. It taught me the value of the school and what it’s like to be a La Salle gentleman. They have a very powerful quote to show what a La Salle gentleman is: “Boys will be boys, but La Salle boys will be gentlemen.”

Jaleb is in eighth grade.
