I enjoyed the experience because I met new people. Thanks for getting our family together.

Dear Jack, Thank you so much for this experience… though I did not like the last game because often times I don’t like expressing my feelings. Sometimes I feel very alone even though I still have so many friends and I know they will always support me. Often times, I don’t feel like ...

Thank you! What you brought to our school is “Hope”. Hope for a better tomorrow. Hope that if we believe in ourselves and in each other, we can truly make a difference. Our school is broken in ways that most people can’t even comprehend. Today marks the first day of healing. You made ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. It was inspirational and fun filled with activities, and communication! You’ve opened my mind to other perspectives and had my mind for sometime. Our activities from the marshmallow castle to the over the line activity, it was entertaining. I thank you for a great day and you ...

Today helped me realize that I’m not the only one struggling with situations. Now I have some people I might go to for help that I wouldn’t have before. It helped me also realize people are being judged for more than race or gender. My friends helped me do this allowing me to ...

Dear Jack, Today’s class has taught me a lot. I learned who I really was & all my faults. I have realized the events that occurred in my life. I promise with all my heart to make the future events less painful and instead make it brighter. PS. Thank you! (original message)

Dear Jack, Thank you for the workshop you did for us today. This workshop has helped me and I’ve learned many things of becoming a leader. Especially some of the activities you have done made me realize what people are going through in their life. Overall I’m glad I’ve experienced this workshop and ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to our school! I really enjoyed it, and the skills we learned like teamwork, and supporting people really helped me a lot. Also, the words you spoke to me about my presence and how it is so noticeable that I can light up the room made me ...

Dear Jack, I did enjoy the experience because I feel that it has in some way made me realize the hardships of being a parent that I had not realized before. Thank you so much for presenting this opportunity to me. I appreciate your way of showing me that there are people out ...

Today has been intense and scary. I never felt so vulnerable in my entire life and I have never felt so hurt. It was amazing. At first I was skeptical. What will we do? How will this affect me? What’s the point? Why do only I feel this way? I was afraid of ...

Dear Jack, To be completely honest, I thought this day would be light, fun and cheery. I never expected to actually learn anything about myself or my peers. I thought it would be just a bunch of games no one took seriously. I’m glad I came today because I was able to express ...

Quest I’m On is a great program. I was very surprised about how much we all learned about each other and ourselves. I learned that I am not alone and there are others out there dealing with the same problems as me. I think this was helpful for everyone and I also feel ...

This is my second time going through this experience, and it has touched me both times. I know what was to be expected due to my previous experience. What I didn’t realize was how many people within my own school it had touched and how many people feel unsafe. The hardest thing for ...

What an awesome experience. You certainly have a talent for dealing with people and developing rapport in such a short period of time. Many of the students expressed how much closer that they felt to one another as a result of your workshop. It was truly a blessing to have you.

Dear Jack, I would like to thank you for this amazing experience. I think you really did a job at the workshop because you made those students to make a difference in their life and without you we couldn’t done it. I hope you will still continue this workshop because it does really ...

This day was a very event filled day that shown me a lot about others when I believed it couldn’t happen to them because I see them in school and they’re basically happy but I know it’s a mask waiting to be town down, just like I wear every day of my life. ...

Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for you coming today I wouldn’t have learned so much about others in my school. And no one would have known the real me. I finally got to get so much off my chest. Stuff that I have been holding in for a very long time. ...

Definitely changing the way I see and treat others!
