I feel I have so many new people to talk to!

I would just like to tell you how thankful I am that you guys came here today! You both are brilliant guys and have taught me so much over such a short period of time. I think I’ve learned some of the most important values of life today. This program has opened my ...

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 ...

This day was full of surprises and unexpected reactions. Today made a powerful impact on the way I see things. It showed that guys have feelings too and that we are all equal… This day was needed to help us open up. Thank you so much. Everything seems so amazing how real life ...

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, I thank you for doing this leadership program today with us. I learned that one of my friends isn’t very happy and doesn’t feel safe from the line you you had us do. I want to thank you so very much for this. If you hadn’t done this it would have ...

Crying was such a huge relief – I have kept things inside for so long. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life!!

I expected it to be fun and it really was. It enlightened me that there were so many people just like me and that we all understood each other. I learned that lots of people cared and were willing to help whoever needed it. I learned that I enjoy meeting new people. I ...

I’m really thankful you both came to GL Roberts because there are so many students not accepting themselves & every student that came today & yesterday greatly benefited from your program. There are things I never would have let out by talking normally with my friends, things that I needed to get out ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for working with us on this workshop because without you this wouldn’t be happening. Jack, you believed that we could do this workshop when others said we cannot. In addition, you made us learn a lot about communication, body language, eye contact and patience, little things that make our ...

Dear Jack, I wasn’t here for the whole day, but from when I came to the end of day the activities that I did were very helpful. The last game we played, cross the line, was very “intense” because the questions weren’t simple questions, they really made you think and express what you ...

I am so glad that you guys came here today. I am not a very open person when it comes to talking about my life but today really helped and really showed me how many people feel the same way as me. You guys are an inspiration on so many people’s lives and ...

I really appreciate you coming to G.L. an letting us share our feelings. In November I did the program and it’ll never get old to me. I wouldn’t mind doing this 100 more times. I hope grade 9’s or even every grade from grade 6 & higher can get this chance. I can ...

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. ...

I expected it to be a boring day. I learned that I am actually very unfair to my mom. It was a very safe space because everyone came here for the same reason. Talking to another parent really helped. It was like if you can tell a stranger, why cannot you tell your mom? I ...

Dear Jack, I thank you for this wonderful experience. It was a great life lesson and the benefits of it are worthwhile. I did feel like the sessions in the schools were too short and rushed. I like the games and activities you did with us. The cross the line activity was my ...

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 really enjoyed your program today. It made me realize that people have really serious problems that I never knew about. It also persuaded me to stop and help prevent bullying in G.L. and wherever I do. Thanks, Jack and Jim. (original message)

Dear Jack, First off, thank you for taking your time to come here and do this workshop with us. It gave me an experience to go out and find difficulties I need to improve on when approaching new things in life (communicating with strangers, etc.). I really admire how you’re such an easy-going ...

Definitely changing the way I see and treat others!
