  “Ms. Braden taught us to communicate with your partner in a relationship. It’s good to take a First Things First class because you can learn to be a better communicator. She also taught us how to breakup with our partner. Breaking up with you partner can be a very emotional thing. You shouldn’t just break-up on the phone you should do it face to face. I like the program it taught me a lot.” - Class Participant
