CHOICES came to Conroe, Texas 14 years ago, so it is only fitting that the Education for Tomorrow Alliance (EFTA) and one of its presenters is featured in Houston’s “H” Magazine’s February article on CHOICES. The piece, cleverly entitled “Truth in Consequences,” provides some CHOICES history, but the story focuses on EFTA presenter Keith Hazelwood, who has presented CHOICES since 1998, and is actually told by teens that he is “cool,” an assessment he rarely received from his own kids when they were in high school.
