I would really like to thank the two of you for helping a lot of us today get our feelings out and just to be totally honest. I’m very thankful I was invited today because I’ve had some feelings bottled up that just had to be let out. This whole program today really ...

Once again, as mentioned yesterday, it was great to see the process in action. The group I was apart of showed some great insight and generated some great discussions that will, if followed through, be exciting to see the possible changes this school can make. (original message)

I am happy to have been able to participate. This day has further helped me to see and understand some of the difficulties that my students must endure daily. I take with me that there is definitely a reason that I am at this school. The curriculum is SECONDARY. The relationships and helping ...

Dear Jack, Thanks for the fun day. You made me realize how easy my life is compared to others during the last part of the day. With what I learned today I want to change what goes on at school. I want people to stop the bullying and the name calling. I want ...

Dear Jack, I had a really nice time for the anti-bullying workshop. This workshop made me experience a lot of things and that younger children need help. And I really thank you for letting me in this workshop and seriously it changed, especially the water line. I liked it and made me see ...

I really wasn’t going to come today but I glad I did come. You guys were a blast. I wish that we could get you to come back and do this again. Your program Quest I’m On is really great and you guys have to be amazing that you can go through all ...

I would like to thank you for coming today. You really helped a lot of people, including me. I had a lot of bottled emotions and you helped let it out. I truly am glad. I feel now that I can trust the people around me more. I’m really thankful of you and ...

Thank you for providing the time on Tuesday for us to get to know each other at a different level. The activity of crossing the line of humanity was particularly meaningful and certainly put us in a place where we were able to reflect, feel empathy for others as well as understand more ...

I’m very surprised by this. It has been the greatest seminar I’ve attended at school ever. It has made me realize a lot of things. I really appreciate you coming to our school. Sincerely. (original message)

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)

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 ...

I would like to start off by saying thank you for this day. You are very inspirational and I learned a lot. I really liked this workshop. I’m glad my teacher recommended me. No one has ever moved me as much as you did. I wish I can take a workshop like this ...

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 ...

Thank you for today. I came in here this morning thinking it would be gay and I wasn’t going to come. But it turned out to be alright. The best activity (the line) was very emotional but I feel a lot better letting it out and for that I thank you guys very ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for all the things you taught us. This day was kinda fun so far. I promise that I will talk or support the people who have problems or something. And I promise that I will change myself. I will not be shy anymore. (original message)

Dear Jack, Today was great. Really. You encouraged us to dig deep and open up. Also you made us feel that crying was a natural and good thing. Thank you so much. You also touched topics that a lot of us are afraid to talk about like being violated and thinking about suicide. ...

Want to let you know that I thought this was a fantastic workshop and that I 100% agree with what you are trying to do. I believe everyone benefits. The benefits for us would be great but it would be another way of working with DB to breakdown biases resulting in more students ...

Time just flew by so quickly that we did not get time to complete the agenda. Everyone was quite upbeat. Thanks to you!

I feel that your program has helped me get past a 10 year struggle with losing my father. I feel not only can I “not” alone but I truly do feel like someone close care. Jack, you’re an amazing guy who I honestly will always remember this moment. And the program has helped ...
