“Choosing love saved my life. My teacher taught us the act of taking all the grudges, hate, and negative thoughts out of our system and to learn to cooperate, learn to forgive, and most importantly, she taught us how to choose love.” ~Justin Rosa, high school student, CT “Truly humbled. Especially for the opportunity to teach my kids the importance of choosing love over fear and anger. I’m incredibly grateful to have such amazing, resilient, mindful students who have dedicated themselves to spreading Jesse’s message by sharing how his courage has helped heal some of their own struggles.” ~Krislyn Petti, high school teacher, CT “Not only is the Choose Love program easy to teach but the kids enjoy it as well.” ~Tara Lechtenberger, elementary school counselor, KY

“I created the formula for choosing love based on the three words written by my son Jesse on our chalkboard, ‘Nurturing Healing Love’. These words are in the definition of compassion across all cultures. I added courage for Jesse, to honor the bravery he showed us not just that day but every day. This formula is the basis of the program and the message is woven throughout all the lessons.”
