| Francesca Togonon (13 y/o) Tai chi is my favorite activity because it is not only calming but also physical. I really had a hard time with exams, but after concentrating, I am calmer. With meditation, I don’t get mad easily. (TOP) |
| Franz Dacanay (12 y/o) To be compassionate, we learned how to love animals, take care of them and not to kill a bug. I do meditation when I feel very stressed. It really helps! (TOP) |
| Janna Antiquera (11 y/o) Drawing is one of the activities in the Bodhi Star class that truly allows me to express my feelings. (TOP) |

| Lance Ty (11 y/o) Since we have studied the Four Tenets, I have reduced eating meat. I became friendlier, too. I also think about the people in my school who are getting bullied and I feel sad for them. (TOP) |
| Marilyn Hipolito (11 y/o) Storytelling is my favorite activity because I learn many things about the Buddha, how to act kindly and how to clear the mind. Because of this, I feel that I have become more giving. (TOP) |

| Raymund Pizarra (10 y/o) I like Kung Fu very much because it is so much fun to move around and do the different karate-like positions. As a result, I have become more skilled with various activities involving a great deal of movements. (TOP) |
| Shuxin Chen (9 y/o) The class is very nice because it teaches us about Buddhism: how to be wise and kind. I like to ask Shifus a lot of questions. Although sometimes I do not get them, I know that Shifus teach us helping people, respecting elders and being compassionate. My mother and I love to go there to study and try our best to help people. It guides us in our life. (TOP) |
