Thank you for today. You have made me learn new thing and make new friends. You have shown me that there are other people who feel the way I do. I learned that certain things annoy people when they talk to me and that somethings seem to annoy me too. I have noticed ...

What moved me was watching people really getting hurt feelings out of their heads.

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. ...

Thank you for coming here in Madonna school. Thanks for the things you did for us, and make us realize that at some point we can be leader even how small or big it is. I know I didn’t become a leader in my group but in myself I know some day that ...

Dear Jack, I really want to thank you for coming and doing this workshop with us. I never told my story to so many people I never thought to trust. I never wrote down my life story and let someone beside myself read it. I now feel more comfortable talking about my story. ...

It just made me feel so special.

Benny age 15, grade 10

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, First of all, I want to thank you for your time, for teaching us what true leadership is. My first impression of you was a very serious man but as the time pass, I find you a very interesting and fun person who is willing to help others. What you taught ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for this leadership workshop. It was very inspirational, and I felt that there were things in me that I need to change. When I go home, I’m just gonna take some time to just search through my thoughts, and figure out what I need to change in my life. ...

It felt good to know that I wasn’t the only one that had all these troubles.

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, This was a very emotional experience and I learned a lot. I learned to trust, to accept and to forgive others. Hopefully I keep these lessons with me for the rest of my life. This was a truly unique experience and I hope I will be able to do this again. ...

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. ...

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, 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 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 ...

Dear Jack, What I most enjoyed about this workshop is how you picked random people in our class for group leaders. By doing this, it allowed me to communicate better with my peers. Since I was in a group with random people, I was forced to talk and this helped build my communication ...

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. ...
