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 ...

Everything I learned today will be very useful. I can help other people with problems and going through hard times. My promise is to help students feel more comfortable. (original message)

Leader’s Quest Program

This was a very interesting and nothing like I expected. It really helped us bond and I feel closer to everyone now. Walk the line was very touching and it showed how people really felt. People who were shut tight opened up and showed their emotions. I’m glad to have had the chance ...

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 ...

Thank you so much for coming to our school to run this amazing program. I feel that through this experience, it has brought us closer together as a school, but more importantly, as a community. You’ve brought to my eyes that no matter what happens, no one is really alone. Therefore, no one ...

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, Thank you very much for this awesome day! I had tons of fun and learned a lot today. You helped me express myself better and gave me more strength and hope. I loved this session, and would love to see you again :). My promise to be more involved in the ...

I want to thank you for a wonderful experience. The environment that you created made everyone feel safe & that we could be honest about ourselves & our feelings. I really do believe that together we have made a difference in many lives today. I truly thank you both for what you are ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for today. I enjoyed it. I learned to be a better listener and a better leader. At the beginning of the workshop, I thought I’d feel left out. I saw many familiar and unfamiliar faces. I expected today to run more different than it did, but it was interesting. ...

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!!

Dear Jack, Today was definitely a learning experience for everybody. I think everyone really learned something new about someone or something. Thank you so much for coming to Madonna and teaching everybody a little bit about themselves and others. I promise to try and be a better leader and help people when they ...

Dear Jack, I want to say thank you so much for showing me that there are people like me. That I’m not all that different from girls from what I always thought I was. Thank you for helping me make friends because high school has already brought me down a little. You didn’t ...

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 ...

I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this amazing experience. It has showed me a lot about being a leader, and being respectful to one another. Today, I will walk out of here with a brand new attitude towards being kind. When we had to cross the line for our problems, it really it me ...
